Abstract
⺠Evolution of mitochondrial genes dominated by purifying selection (Ï ratio <1). ⺠Two approaches suggest a link between weak/episodic selection and niche shift. ⺠Significantly higher Ï ratio in mitochondrial genes of subterranean groups. ⺠Significant physicochemical changes concentrated in subterranean lineages. ⺠Some changes shared with others groups adapted to hypoxia.
