Combining nuclear (nuDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers has improved the
power of molecular data to test phylogenetic and phylogeographic hypotheses and has …

Over the last three decades, mitochondrial DNA has been the most popular marker of
molecular diversity, for a combination of technical ease‐of‐use considerations, and …

The order Cetartiodactyla includes cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) that are
found in all oceans and seas, as well as in some rivers, and artiodactyls (ruminants, pigs …

Research into differences in introgression potential among autosomal, sex-linked, and
mtDNA loci is an active field of inquiry in both model and non-model species. At the same …

The anthozoan sub-class Octocorallia, comprising approximately 3000 species of soft
corals, gorgonians, and sea pens, remains one of the most poorly understood groups of the …

Domestic goats (Capra hircus) are spread across the five continents with a census of 1
billion individuals. The worldwide population of goats descends from a limited number of …

Organisms living at high altitude are exposed to severe environmental stress associated
with decreased oxygen pressure, cold temperatures, increased levels of UV radiation, steep …

Snakes are one of the most diverse groups of terrestrial vertebrates, with approximately
3500 extant species. A robust phylogeny and taxonomy of snakes is crucial for us to know …

The two living species of bison (European and American) are among the few terrestrial
megafauna to have survived the late Pleistocene extinctions. Despite the extensive bovid …

Abstract Models that posit speciation in the face of gene flow are replacing classical views
that hybridization is rare between animal species. We use a multilocus approach to examine …
