Microsatellite frequencies vary with body mass and body temperature in mammals, suggesting correlated variation in mutation rate

Substitution rate is often found to correlate with life history traits such as body mass, a predictor of population size and longevity, and body temperature. The underlying mechanism is unclear but most models invoke either natural selection or factors such as generation length that change the numbe...
