Haplotype phylogenies based on DNA sequence data are increasingly being used to test
traditional species-level taxonomies based on morphology. However, few studies have …

Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory Explore the fundamentals of the
biological implications of population genetic theory In the newly revised Second Edition of …

Race is generally used as a synonym for subspecies, which traditionally is a geographically
circumscribed, genetically differentiated population. Sometimes traits show independent …

Quercus is one of the most abundant and economically important genera of woody plants in
the Northern Hemisphere. To infer phylogenetic relationships within Quercus subgenus …

The geography of speciation has long been contentious. In recent years, phylogenetic
approaches have been proposed to determine the geographical mode of speciation. If …

Recent essays on the species problem have emphasized the commonality that many
species concepts have with basic evolutionary theory. Although true, such consensus fails to …

This study evaluated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation in a 552‐bp fragment
of the control region of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) by analyzing 159 individuals from 83 …

All genetic markers are estimators of DNA nucleotide sequence variation. Rather than
obtaining DNA sequence data, it is cheaper and faster to use techniques that estimate …

We describe a software package (SpedeSTEM) that allows researchers to conduct a species
delimitation analysis using intraspecific genetic data. Our method operates under the …
