In the past decade, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis has become es-tablished as a
powerful tool for evolutionary studies of animals. These studies, recently reviewed by Avise …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) extracted from water samples has recently shown potential as a
valuable source of population genetic information for aquatic macroorganisms. This …

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

Despite the potential power and extensive use of DNA variation for phylogenetic
reconstruction, it has become increasingly apparent that DNA phylogenies are often …

Electrophoretic data were analysed from 49 species of freshwater fish, 57 species of marine
fish, and seven anadromous species. For each species, at least 15 individuals had been …

Animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is playing an increasingly important role as a genetic
marker in population and evolutionary biology. The popularity of this molecule derives, in …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been the workhorse of research in phylogeography for
almost two decades. However, concerns with basing evolutionary interpretations on mtDNA …

This essay reviews comparative studies of animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), with
emphasis on findings made and ideas developed at Berkeley. It argues that such studies are …

Plants offer excellent models to investigate how gene flow shapes the organization of
genetic diversity. Their three genomes can have different modes of transmission and will …

Why the DNA‐containing organelles, chloroplasts, and mitochondria, are inherited
maternally is a long standing and unsolved question. However, recent years have seen a …
