Although range expansions have occurred recurrently in the history of most species, their
genetic consequences have been little investigated. Theoretical studies show that range …

Intraspecific gene evolution cannot always be represented by a bifurcating tree. Rather,
population genealogies are often multifurcated, descendant genes coexist with persistent …

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

Population‐genetic studies have been remarkably productive and successful in the last
decade following the invention of PCR technology and the introduction of mitochondrial and …

Races may exist in humans in a cultural sense, but biological concepts of race are needed
to access their reality in a non-species-specific manner and to see if cultural categories …

This special issue of Molecular Ecology celebrates the birth of phylogeography 10 years ago
(Avise et al. 1987). Because the discipline has deep roots in historical biogeography and …

Rick Grosberg and CW Cunningham chapter 3 predator (or parasite or herbivore)
population genetically varies over a finer spatial scale than its prey (or host), it is unlikely that …

Cryptococcus neoformans (= Filobasidiella neoformans) is a significant emerging fungal
pathogen of humans. To understand the evolution of this pathogen, 34 strains were obtained …

The geographic structure of Y-chromosome variability has been analyzed in native
populations of South America, through use of the high-frequency Native American …

Based on two polymorphic chloroplast microsatellites that had been previously identified
and sequence characterized in the genus Abies, genetic variation was studied in a total of …
