While studies of phylogeography and speciation in the past have largely focused on the
documentation or detection of significant patterns of population genetic structure, the …

In the newly emerging field of statistical phylogeography, consideration of the stochastic
nature of genetic processes and explicit reference to theoretical expectations under various …

In conventional phylogeographic studies, historical demographic processes are elucidated
from the geographical distribution of individuals represented on an inferred gene tree …

Understanding the factors that contribute to the formation of population genetic structure is a
central goal of phylogeographic research, but achieving this goal can be complicated by the …

Statistical phylogeographic studies contribute to our understanding of the factors that
influence population divergence and speciation, and that ultimately generate …

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

Since the 1920s, population geneticists have had measures that describe how genetic
variation is distributed spatially within a species' geographical range. Modern genetic survey …

Phylogeography's objective—to understand the processes underlying the spatial and
temporal dimensions of genetic variation—underlies both the prominence and extensive …

Due to lack of an adequate statistical framework, biologists studying phylogeography are
abandoning traditional methods of estimating phylogeographic history in favor of statistical …

The field of phylogeography continues to grow in terms of power and accessibility. Initially
uniting population genetics and phylogenetics, it now spans disciplines as diverse as …
