| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | The mitochondrial genomes of C. nemoralis can differ widely between individuals in the same population and these differences (like polymorphism) apparently predate speciation. This study bred animals and confirmed that mitochondrial inheritance is exclusively via the female parent in these hermaphroditic animals. |
