Phylogenies are extremely useful tools, not only for establishing genealogical relationships
among a group of organisms or their parts (eg genes), but also for a variety of research once …

Phylogeography is a discipline concerned with various relationships between gene
genealogies—phylogenetics—and geography. The word “phylogeography” was coined in …

This paper considers the problem of testing a container class or other modestly-complex API-
based software system. Past experimental evaluations have shown that for many such …

The use of comparative methods to test evolutionary hypotheses has become more common
at both the macro-and microevolutionary levels. The application of such techniques is …

We critically review the two major theories of adaptive evolution developed early in this
century, Wright's shifting balance theory and Fisher's large population size theory, in light of …

Phylogentic analysis is becoming an increasingly important tool for customized drug
treatments, epidemiological studies, and evolutionary analysis. The TCS method provides …

We investigated the response of Gyrinophilus porphyriticus (Plethodontidae), the spring
salamander, to timber harvest in headwater streams in New Hampshire (USA). We …

sAbstract Contemporary North American drainage basins are composites of formerly
isolated drainages, suggesting that fragmentation and fusion of palaeodrainage systems …

To determine the extent of phylogeographic structuring in North American black bear (Ursus
americanus) populations, we examined mitochondrial DNA sequences (n= 118) and …

The nested clade analysis can be extremely useful in testing for an association between
genetic variation and geography and in explaining these observed patterns in terms of …
