The incomplete natural history of mitochondria
JWO Ballard, MC Whitlock - Molecular ecology, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been used to study molecular ecology and
phylogeography for 25 years. Much important information has been gained in this way, but it …

Comparing adaptive radiations across space, time, and taxa
Adaptive radiation plays a fundamental role in our understanding of the evolutionary
process. However, the concept has provoked strong and differing opinions concerning its …

Species-level paraphyly and polyphyly: frequency, causes, and consequences, with insights from animal mitochondrial DNA
▪ Abstract Many uses of gene trees implicitly assume that nominal species are monophyletic
in their alleles at the study locus. However, in well-sampled gene trees, certain alleles in one …

Hybridization and adaptive radiation
O Seehausen - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2004 - cell.com
Whether interspecific hybridization is important as a mechanism that generates biological
diversity is a matter of controversy. Whereas some authors focus on the potential of …

How common is homoploid hybrid speciation?
Hybridization has long been considered a process that prevents divergence between
species. In contrast to this historical view, an increasing number of empirical studies claim to …

The geography and ecology of plant speciation: range overlap and niche divergence in sister species
BL Anacker, SY Strauss - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
