Phylogeography is a discipline concerned with various relationships between gene
genealogies—phylogenetics—and geography. The word “phylogeography” was coined in …

Keratinous tissues such as nail, hair, horn, scales and feather have been used as a source
of DNA for over 20 years. Particular benefits of such tissues include the ease with which they …

Mountain gorillas are an endangered great ape subspecies and a prominent focus for

This account of the systematics of African primates is the consensus view of a group of
authors who attended the Workshop of the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group held at …

To date, over 100 complete metazoan mitochondrial (mt) genomes of different phyla have
been reported. Here, we briefly summarise mt gene organisation in the Metazoa and review …

Noninvasive samples are useful for molecular genetic analyses of wild animal populations.
However, the low DNA content of such samples makes DNA amplification difficult, and there …

Model of the active site of NijFe hydrogenases (modified from ref. 2 on the basis of the
present work). Assignment of the positions of CO and eN-is arbitrary. come earlier from …

In the context of a study of wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus, we found that
genotypes based on single PCR amplifications of microsatellite loci from single shed hair …

Here we report the application of high-density oligonucleotide array (DNA chip)-based
analysis to determine the distant history of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in …

In Genes, Categories and Species, Jody Hey provides an enlightening new solution to one
of biology's most ironic and perplexing puzzles. When Darwin showed that life evolves, and …
