The practice of tracking geographical divergence along a phylogenetic tree has added an
evolutionary perspective to biogeographic analysis within single species. In spite of the …

Since the 1920s, population geneticists have had measures that describe how genetic
variation is distributed spatially within a species' geographical range. Modern genetic survey …

A gene tree is an evolutionary reconstruction of the genealogical history of the genetic
variation found in a sample of homologous genes or DNA regions that have experienced …

The field of phylogeography continues to grow in terms of power and accessibility. Initially
uniting population genetics and phylogenetics, it now spans disciplines as diverse as …

Systematists and population geneticists can both use molecular data sets to construct
evolutionary trees (species and gene trees, respectively), and then use the resulting …

The growth of phylogeography would not have been possible without the great advances in
DNA sequencing technology achieved through the 1970s and 1980s. DNA sequencing …

Phylogeography and landscape genetics have arisen within the past 30 y. Phylogeography
is said to be the bridge between population genetics and systematics, and landscape …

Comparative phylogeography has emerged as a means of understanding the spatial
patterns of genetic divergence of codistributed species. However, researchers are often …

While studies of phylogeography and speciation in the past have largely focused on the
documentation or detection of significant patterns of population genetic structure, the …

Empirical phylogeographic studies have progressively sampled greater numbers of loci over
time, in part motivated by theoretical papers showing that estimates of key demographic …
