We investigated the species status and intraspecific phylogeography in South Korea of two
ground beetle species, Coptolabrus jankowskii and Coptolabrus smaragdinus (Coleoptera …

Much remains to be discovered about the biodiversity of coral reefs in Malaysia, making this
area a priority for coral reef research. This thesis aims to provide insights into the patterns of …

Evolutionary trees can be constructed from the haplotypes observed with molecular surveys
of sequence or restriction site variation. Such gene trees can be constructed regardless of …

Larvae of 19 species of Melolonthini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) are important sugarcane
pests in eastern Australia. Larvae of five of these pest species cannot be identified …

Nuclear DNA sequence data for diploid organisms are potentially a rich source of
phylogenetic information for disentangling the evolutionary relationships of closely related …

There are about 30 species concepts in the literature. The exact number depends on what
one considers a full or acknowledged concept (sometimes a comment or definition in the …

Evolutionary processes can be influenced by several factors, such as geographic isolation,
environmental selection, and sensory variation. For most nocturnal bats, echolocation is the …

The acoustic structure of primate loud calls can be used as a powerful, inexpensive, and
noninvasive tool for intra-and interspecific comparative analyses, reconstruction of …

All concepts of race ultimately are based on patterns of genetic diversity within and among
the local breeding populations of a species. The existence of genetic differences among …

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to examine population
genetic structure in populations of native grape phylloxera. This research asked:(i) do RAPD …
