Most healthy naturally propagated plants grown in field or potting soils are colonized by
communities of endophytic bacteria, embracing a wide variety of species and genera. These …

One of the strengths of the maximum likelihood method of phylogenetic estimation is the
ease with which hypotheses can be formulated and tested. Maximum likelihood analysis of …

The rapid development of DNA sequencing technology in recent years has provided new
tools for phylogenetic data acquisition. By using high‐throughput DNA sequencing …

The species problem has triggered the publication of an almost infinite number of theoretical

For anyone with interests in a group of organisms as large and diverse as the Crustacea, it is
difficult to grasp the enormity of the entire taxon at one time. Those who work on crustaceans …

Molecular methods as applied to the biogeography of single species (phylogeography) or
multiple codistributed species (comparative phylogeography) have been productively and …

The study of evolution at the molecular level has given the subject of evolutionary biology a
new significance. Phylogenetic'trees' of gene sequences are a powerful tool for recovering …
