Genetic structure can be influenced by local adaptation to environmental heterogeneity and
biogeographic barriers, resulting in discrete population clusters. Geographic distance …

Garter snakes (Thamnophis) are a successful group of natricines endemic to North America.
They have become important natural models for ecological and evolutionary research, yet …

Abstract North American Thamnophiini (gartersnakes, watersnakes, brownsnakes, and
swampsnakes) are an ecologically and phenotypically diverse temperate clade of snakes …

Genomic data have the potential to inform high resolution landscape genetic and biological
conservation studies that go far beyond recent mitochondrial and microsatellite analyses …

Neotropical seasonally dry forests (NSDFs) are widely distributed and possess high levels of
species richness and endemism; however, their biogeography remains only partially …

We utilize the efficient GBS technique to obtain thousands of nuclear loci and SNPs to
reconstruct the evolutionary history of Mexican leaf-toed geckos (Phyllodactylus). Through …

Abstract Knowledge of the role of geographical and ecological events associated to the
divergence process of wild progenitors is important to understand the process of …

Although speciation dynamics have been described for several taxonomic groups in distinct
geographic regions, most macroevolutionary studies still lack a detailed mechanistic view on …

The opposing forces of gene flow and isolation are two major processes shaping genetic
diversity. Understanding how these vary across space and time is necessary to identify the …

Aim The study of biogeographic barriers is instrumental in understanding the evolution and
distribution of taxa. With the increasing availability of empirical datasets, emergent patterns …
