Mitochondrial Genetic Mutations in the Pale Grass Blue Butterfly: Possible DNA Damage via the Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Real-Time Molecular Evolution

Mitochondrial Genetic Mutations in the Pale Grass Blue Butterfly: Possible DNA Damage via the Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Real-Time Molecular Evolution

The pale grass blue butterfly <i>Zizeeria maha</i> has been used to evaluate the biological effects of the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011. Here, we examined the DNA sequences of the mitochondrial gene <i>cytochrome oxidase subunit I</i> (<i>COI</i>) of <i&g...
