“…Mitochondrial genetic variation has been linked to aerobic performance in other species, 410 including birds (Shen et al 2009;Toews et al 2014), but consideration of its impact on other phenotypes is more limited (though see Dowling et al 2008 and references therein). Thus, the extent to which cytoplasmic inheritance is a phenomenon particularly associated with carotenoid coloration is unknown.…”

“…For example, multiple studies have documented correlations between aerobic metabolic functions and gradients of latitude and altitude (Angilletta et al, 2002;Fontanillas et al, 2005;Pörtner, 2006;Hassanin et al, 2009;Cheviron and Brumfield, 2009;Scott et al, 2011;Toews et al, 2014;Stager et al, 2014). Similarly, many studies have demonstrated that variation in aerobic metabolism measured at the tissue and whole-organism levels are associated with differences in performance and fitness, or correlates of fitness (Pörtner and Knust, 2007;Farrell et al, 2008;Eliason et al, 2011;Zera, 2011;White et al, 2012;Rauhamäki et al, 2014).…”

The effects of temperature on aerobic metabolism: towards a mechanistic understanding of the responses of ectotherms to a changing environment

Because of its profound effects on the rates of biological processes such as aerobic metabolism, environmental temperature plays an important role in shaping the distribution and abundance of species. As temperature increases, the rate of metabolism increases and then rapidly declines at higher temperatures -a response that can be described using a thermal performance curve (TPC). Although the shape of the TPC for aerobic metabolism is often attributed to the competing effects of thermodynamics, which can be described using the Arrhenius equation, and the effects of temperature on protein stability, this account represents an over-simplification of the factors acting even at the level of single proteins. In addition, it cannot adequately account for the effects of temperature on complex multistep processes, such as aerobic metabolism, that rely on mechanisms acting across multiple levels of biological organization. The purpose of this review is to explore our current understanding of the factors that shape the TPC for aerobic metabolism in response to acute changes in temperature, and to highlight areas where this understanding is weak or insufficient. Developing a more strongly grounded mechanistic model to account for the shape of the TPC for aerobic metabolism is crucial because these TPCs are the foundation of several recent attempts to predict the responses of species to climate change, including the metabolic theory of ecology and the hypothesis of oxygen and capacity-limited thermal tolerance.

“…First, parallels have been reported between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotype frequencies and natural or laboratory-manipulated conditions (reviewed in Toews & Brelsford 2012). Second, functional differences with potential fitness implications have been assigned to naturally occurring mtDNA variants (reviewed in Ballard & Melvin 2010;Toews et al 2013). Third, the signs of positive selection at mtDNA have been detected using neutrality tests (Ruiz-Pesini et al 2004;Bazin et al 2006;da Fonseca et al 2008;Llopart et al 2014).…”

On the adaptive value of cytoplasmic genomes in plants

Is DNA variation maintained in organelle genomes selectively neutral? The answer to this question has important implications for many aspects of ecology and evolution. While traditionally the answer has been 'yes', recent studies in animals have shown that, on the contrary, mitochondrial DNA polymorphism is frequently adaptive. In plants, however, the neutrality assumption has not been strongly challenged. Here, we begin with a critical evaluation of arguments in favour of this long-held view. We then discuss the latest empirical evidence for the opposing prediction that sequence variation in plant cytoplasmic genomes is frequently adaptive. While outstanding research progress is being made towards understanding this fundamental topic, we highlight the need for studies that combine information ranging from field experiments to physiology to molecular evolutionary biology. Such an interdisciplinary approach provides a means for determining the frequency, drivers and evolutionary significance of adaptive organelle DNA variation.
