Throughout evolutionary history in the kingdom Fungi, taxa have exchanged genetic
information among species, as revealed in particular by analyses of genome sequences. In …

Assessing the relative importance of the various pathways to diversification is a central goal
of biodiversity researchers. For plant biologists, and increasingly across the spectrum of …

Diversity and distributions of cryptic species have long been a vexing issue. Identification of
species boundaries is made difficult by the lack of obvious morphological differences. Here …

Phylogenetic relationships, taxonomy and nomenclature issues within East Asian voles
Alexandromys were addressed using comprehensive species samples, including all 12 …

Cladocerans are well-studied planktonic crustaceans, especially those of the genus
Daphnia in which interesting evolutionary questions have been addressed on speciation …

Accurate species delimitation is critical for biodiversity studies. However, species complexes
characterized by introgression, high levels of population structure and subtle phenotypic …

Discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies is being increasingly
recognized in animals and may confound DNA‐based taxonomy. This is especially relevant …

Multi-locus data have proven invaluable in phylogenetic reconstruction and species
delimitation. However, the mixed genetic signal from different loci can make inference of …

Rhinolophids (horseshoe bats) are a widespread and diverse family. Their high level of
morphological convergence has made taxonomic identification and estimation of species …

The earthworms Eisenia fetida and E. andrei are closely related and can hybridise under
laboratory conditions, but it is not known if they hybridise under more natural conditions. The …
