Evidence for GC-biased gene conversion as a driver of between-lineage differences in avian base composition
BACKGROUND: While effective population size (N(e)) and life history traits such as generation time are known to impact substitution rates, their potential effects on base composition evolution are less well understood. GC content increases with decreasing body mass in mammals, consistent with recomb...
