• Mitochondrial DNA as a marker of molecular diversity: a reappraisal (2009, background): “It is widely considered that mtDNA is maternally transmitted, and therefore clonal, in animals (Birky 2001).”
• Recombination, Heteroplasmy, Haplotype Polymorphism, and Paralogy in Plastid Genes: Implications for Plant Molecular Systematics (2004, background): “In fact, for recombination or any fixed organellar genome mutation to be detectable, at least transient heteroplasmy must have occurred first (Birky 2001).”
• A new subfamilial and tribal classification of the pantropical flowering plant family Annonaceae informed by molecular phylogenetics (2012, positive): “We used sequence data from eight plastid loci, representing a large number of characters that are always inherited as a single unit (the plastid genome) without recombination (Birky, 2001).”
• Incorporating molecular evolution into phylogenetic analysis, and a new compilation of conserved polymerase chain reaction primers for animal mitochondrial DNA (2006, background): “In addition to faster coalescence times (discussed above), these features include haploidy, the absence (or reduced rates) of recombination (Birky 2001), maternal inheritance, and more neutral patterns of evolution.”
• The incomplete natural history of mitochondria (2004, background): “One unusual property of most animal mtDNA is that it does not usually undergo recombination (Birky 2001).”
• Dynamic Energy Budget Theory for Metabolic Organisation (2005, background): “division of the mitochondrion must be tightly linked to that of the cell, but generally the dynamics of mitochondria is complex and best described by stochastic models [107].”
• Rubisco specificity factor tends to be larger in plant species from drier habitats and in species with persistent leaves (2005, background): “Nevertheless, the Rubisco large subunit sequences of different Limonium species are not identical (Fig. 1). The conclusion must be that variations in the genes encoding rbcL Rubisco gene arise or exist and that the normal process of maternal inheritance ( Birky 2001 ) allows selection of superior ve”
