Molecular ecology has become one of the key tools in the modern conservationist's kit. Here
we review three areas where molecular ecology has been applied to amphibian …

The radiation of Palearctic green toads (Bufotes) holds great potential to evaluate the role of
hybridization in phylogeography at multiple stages along the speciation continuum. With …

Cryptic phylogeographic diversifications provide unique models to examine the role of
phylogenetic divergence on the evolution of reproductive isolation, without extrinsic factors …

Hotspots of intraspecific genetic diversity, which are of primary importance for the
conservation of species, have been associated with glacial refugia, that is areas where …

Despite increasing appreciation of the speciation continuum, delimiting and describing new
species is a major yet necessary challenge of modern phylogeography to help optimize …

Abstract The Sino-Japanese Floristic Region (SJFR) in East Asia is one of the most diverse
temperate floras in the world. However, the relative influence of Neogene …

Because it is indicative of reproductive isolation, the amount of genetic introgression across
secondary contact zones is increasingly considered in species delimitation. However …

Invasive species are considered one of the main drivers of the sixth mass extinction.
Conservation solutions depend on whether a species is also indigenous to the country it …

Background Hybridization between incipient species is expected to become progressively
limited as their genetic divergence increases and reproductive isolation proceeds …

Human introductions of exotic amphibians can have catastrophic effects on native species.
However, they usually remain unnoticed without genetic tools when species are difficult to …
