Natural history collections are invaluable repositories of biological information that provide
an unrivaled record of Earth's biodiversity. Museum genomics—genomics research using …

The rapid expansion of next‐generation sequencing has yielded a powerful array of tools to
address fundamental biological questions at a scale that was inconceivable just a few years …

The Archaeology of Human Bones provides an up to date account of the analysis of human
skeletal remains from archaeological sites, introducing students to the anatomy of bones …

New DNA sequencing technologies are allowing researchers to explore the genomes of the
millions of natural history specimens collected prior to the molecular era. Yet, we know little …

Many species have undergone dramatic population size declines over the past centuries.
Although stochastic genetic processes during and after such declines are thought to elevate …

Despite the impressive growth of knowledge on the phylogenetic systematics of dart-poison
frogs and their relatives (Dendrobatoidea) over the past decade, many problems remain to …

Natural history collections play a crucial role in biodiversity research, and museum
specimens are increasingly being incorporated into modern genetics‐based studies …
