Advancing technologies have facilitated the ever‐widening application of genetic markers
such as microsatellites into new systems and research questions in biology. In light of the …

Wright's F-statistics, and especially F ST, provide important insights into the evolutionary
processes that influence the structure of genetic variation within and among populations …

Abstract genodive version 3.0 is a user‐friendly program for the analysis of population
genetic data. This version presents a major update from the previous version and now offers …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

What are the models used in phylogenetic analysis and what exactly is involved in Bayesian
evolutionary analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods? How can you …

We present a new open source, extensible and flexible software platform for Bayesian
evolutionary analysis called BEAST 2. This software platform is a re-design of the popular …

Many aspects of the historical relationships between populations in a species are reflected
in genetic data. Inferring these relationships from genetic data, however, remains a …

Hybridization between species is commonplace in plants, but is often seen as unnatural and
unusual in animals. Here, I survey studies of natural interspecific hybridization in plants and …

As a discipline, phylogenetics is becoming transformed by a flood of molecular data. These
data allow broad questions to be asked about the history of life, but also present difficult …

A new Bayesian method that uses individual multilocus genotypes to estimate rates of recent
immigration (over the last several generations) among populations is presented. The …
