Phylogeography, born to bridge population genetics and phylogenetics in an explicit
geographic context, has provided a successful platform for unveiling species evolutionary …

Relationships between morphology, physiology, or biochemistry, on the one hand, and
behavior and ecology, on the other, have been widely documented, as this volume attests …

Mitochondrial genes have been used extensively in population genetic and
phylogeographical analyses, in part due to a high rate of nucleotide substitution in animal …

To address aspects of the evolution and natural history of green turtles, we assayed
mitochondrial (mt) DNA genotypes from 226 specimens representing 15 major rookeries …

Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is emerging as a powerful monitoring tool in cancer,
pregnancy and organ transplantation. Nucleosomal DNA, the predominant form of plasma …

Systematists should distinguish between cladistic analysis, ie, a numerical procedure, and
phylogenetic analysis, ie, the reconstruction of hierarchic descent relationships. Modern …

Phylogeography is a young, vigorous and integrative field of study that uses genetic data to
understand the history of populations. This field has recently expanded into many areas of …

Variability of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the honey bee Apis mellifera L. has been
investigated by restriction and sequence analyses on a sample of 68 colonies from ten …

The internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the nuclear ribosomal 18S–5.8 S–26S cistron
continue to be the most popular non-plastid region for species-level phylogenetic studies of …

This book is a unique and integrated account of the history of North American vegetation
and paleoenvironments over the past 70 million years. It includes discussions of the modern …
