▪ Abstract Species are routinely used as fundamental units of analysis in biogeography,
ecology, macroevolution, and conservation biology. A large literature focuses on defining …

Even before the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species, the perception of evolutionary
change has been a tree-like pattern of diversification-with divergent branches spreading …

Both the ability to generate DNA data and the variety of analytical methods for conservation
genetics are expanding at an ever-increasing pace. Analytical approaches are now possible …

Nested clade phylogeographical analysis (NCPA) has become a common tool in
intraspecific phylogeography. To evaluate the validity of its inferences, NCPA was applied to …

Explaining the origins and evolution of Amazonian biodiversity continues to be an
outstanding question in evolutionary biology. A plethora of mechanisms for promoting …

Four distinct phylogeographical patterns across Southeast Asia were observed for four
species of seahorse (genus Hippocampus) with differing ecologies. For all species, genetic …

Although mitochondrial DNA markers have several properties that make them suitable for
phylogeographic studies, they are not free of difficulties. Phylogeographic inferences within …

We examined population substructure of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp). in Shark Bay,
Western Australia, using 10 highly polymorphic microsatellite loci, and mitochondrial DNA …

Biogeographic boundaries are characterised by distinct faunal and floral assemblages
restricted on either side, but patterns among groups of taxa often vary and may not be …
