Contemporary philosophy and methods for studying speciation and delimiting species
FT Burbrink, S Ruane - Ichthyology & Herpetology, 2021 - meridian.allenpress.com
Species delimitation is a first step for realizing the extent of biodiversity and is relevant for all
downstream applications in biology. The production of large genome-scale datasets for non …

The future of zoological taxonomy is integrative, not minimalist
Roughly 18,000 species are described annually as new to science, while estimated
extinction rates are comparable to or even exceeding these new discoveries. Considering …

Biogeographic barriers, Pleistocene refugia, and climatic gradients in the southeastern Nearctic drive diversification in cornsnakes (Pantherophis guttatus complex)
The southeastern Nearctic is a biodiversity hotspot that is also rich in cryptic species.
Numerous hypotheses (eg, vicariance, local adaptation, and Pleistocene speciation in …

Morphological evolution and niche conservatism across a continental radiation of Australian blindsnakes
Understanding how continental radiations are assembled across space and time is a major
question in macroevolutionary biology. Here, we use a phylogenomic-scale phylogeny, a …

'Barcode fishing'for archival DNA from historical type material overcomes taxonomic hurdles, enabling the description of a new frog species
Taxonomic progress is often hindered by intrinsic factors, such as morphologically cryptic
species that require a broad suite of methods to distinguish, and extrinsic factors, such as …

Interspecific gene flow and mitochondrial genome capture during the radiation of Jamaican Anolis lizards (Squamata; Iguanidae)
Gene flow and reticulation are increasingly recognized as important processes in the
diversification of many taxonomic groups. With the increasing ease of collecting genomic …
