Analysis reveals mitonuclear discordance in beetles, suggesting interaction complexities through incomplete lineage sorting and nuclear compensation.

This study investigates mitonuclear discordance and its evolutionary implications in beetces.
Analyzed phylogenetic signals among mitochondrial and nuclear genes across 53 beetle species.
Integrated phylogenetic reconstructions and reticulate evolutionary network analyses to assess genetic relationships.
Detected two cases of mitonuclear discordance in noterids and rhysodines.
Nuclear-encoded OXPHOS genes supported mitochondrial phylogenetic signals in noterids, indicating divergent evolutionary history.
Findings suggest limited efficacy of nuclear compensation at the gene level and show weak correlation between nuclear and mitochondrial genes.

Zhao et al. (2025) studied this question.
