From: Mitonuclear mismatch alters nuclear gene expression in naturally introgressed Rhinolophus bats
Experimental design to study the transcriptional effects of mitonuclear mismatch in R. affinis. a Phylogenetic relationships between the two hybridizing subspecies, R. a. himalayanus and R. a. macrurus. Extensive mtDNA introgression has occurred from macrurus to himalayanus in their secondary contact regions. b Geographic distribution of macrurus and himalayanus and the sampling locality of himalayanus in this study. c The study system includes five males of each himalayanus group, mitonuclear matched (both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes are from himalayanus) and mismatched (nuclear and mitochondrial genomes are from himalayanus and macrurus, respectively) groups. d We sampled six adult tissues (pectoral muscle, heart, brain, liver, cochlea, and small intestine) to assess transcriptional variations of nuclear genes between matched and mismatched groups
