Cellular respiration depends on compatibility between mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA products. Strong selection conserved interacting nuclear and mitochondrial genetic content. Mitochondrial mutations can favor compensatory nuclear changes and contribute to reproductive barriers. The study tests whether mito-nuclear compatibility selection can influence diversity and species lifetimes.
