Approximately 20 years ago, Avise and colleagues proposed the integration of
phylogenetics and population genetics for investigating the connection between micro-and …

▪ Abstract Species are routinely used as fundamental units of analysis in biogeography,
ecology, macroevolution, and conservation biology. A large literature focuses on defining …

DNA barcoding-type studies assemble single-locus data from large samples of individuals
and species, and have provided new kinds of data for evolutionary surveys of diversity. An …

Cataloging the very large number of undescribed species of insects could be greatly
accelerated by automated DNA based approaches, but procedures for large-scale species …

Given the problems of species delimitation in algae using morphology or sexual
compatibility, molecular data are becoming the standard for delimiting species and testing …

The long-awaited revision of the industry standard on phylogenetics Since the publication of
the first edition of this landmark volume more than twenty-five years ago, phylogenetic …

The literature about species concepts might be larger than that about any other subject in
evolutionary biology, but the issue of empirically testing species boundaries has been given …

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 …

Being able to efficiently and accurately delimit species is one of the most basic and
important aspects of systematics because species are the fundamental unit of analysis in …

Systematics can be considered to have two major goals:(1) to discover and describe species
and (2) to determine the phylogenetic relationships of these species. But even a quick …
