Hi Maryane,

you might want to look at:

• Title Dynamics of Mitochondrial Genome Evolution in the Lower Metazoan Phyla Porifera, Cnidaria and Ctenophera [microform]
• Author Watkins, Russell Floyd
• Publisher Simon Fraser University, 2002

• ISBN 0612616924, 9780612616929

• Apart from this book, these databases might be useful to you:

• MitoZoa: A curated mitochondrial genome database of metazoans for comparative genomics studies
• AMiGA: The Arthropodan Mitochondrial Genomes Accessible database

I hope this helps.

Here is a classic analysis of the Human MtDNA genome. There are also relevant papers in the sidebar to the right.
