The biogeography of mitochondrial and nuclear discordance in animals (2012, background): “In these cases, signifi- cantly less mtDNA divergence compared with nuclear differentiation can implicate mitochondrial introgression between taxa (e.g. Cathey et al. 1998; Bachtrog et al. 2006; Irwin et al. 2009).”
Quantitative criteria for species delimitation (2010, background): “…when using a rapidly evolving gene like mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), monophyly can either arise very early in the speciation process or long after speciation is complete, depending on whether populations have the opportunity to hybridize (Funk & Omland 2003, Irwin et al. 2009, Joseph & Omland 2009).”
