Many phylogeographic studies on species with large ranges have found genetic–
geographic structure associated with changes in habitat and physical barriers preventing or …

Contemporary molecular biology provides information about entire genome sequences,
which are used in fields such as medicine, pharmacogenetics, and nutrigenomics. Apart …

Secondary contact zones between deeply divergent, yet interfertile, lineages provide
windows into the speciation process. North American grey foxes (Urocyon …

The gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) lineage diverged from all other extant canids at
their most basal node and is restricted to the Americas. Previous mitochondrial analysis from …

Shifting baselines can skew species harvest guidelines and lead to potentially inaccurate
assessments of population status and range. The North American Fur Trade (~ 1600–1900 …

When designing phylogeographic investigations researchers can choose to collect many
different types of molecular markers, including mitochondrial genes or genomes, SNPs from …

The relationship between ecology and morphology is a cornerstone of evolutionary biology,
and quantifying variation across environments can shed light on processes that give rise to …

We used mitochondrial sequences and nuclear microsatellites to investigate population
structure of gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) and the evolutionary origins of the …

Reference genome assemblies have been created from multiple lineages within the
Canidae family; however, despite its phylogenetic relevance as a basal genus within the …

Aim Current distributions of widespread North American (NA) species have been shaped by
Pleistocene glacial cycles, latitudinal temperature gradients, sharp longitudinal habitat …
