Combining nuclear (nuDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers has improved the
power of molecular data to test phylogenetic and phylogeographic hypotheses and has …

A defining feature of species is that their constituting populations are connected by gene
flow. However, interspecific gene flow (introgression) can affect species integrity. If some …

We define a genetic species as a group of genetically compatible interbreeding natural
populations that is genetically isolated from other such groups. This focus on genetic …

Approximately 600-bp sequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been designated as
“DNA barcodes” and have become one of the most contentious and animated issues in the …

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 …

Genetic data can provide a powerful tool for those interested in the ecology and
management of wildlife, especially when it is combined with behavioral, demographic, or …

We report here the results of one of the first analyses to use male-specific nuclear markers in
elucidating primate phylogenetic relationships at the intrageneric level. Two closely linked Y …

Abstract Models that posit speciation in the face of gene flow are replacing classical views
that hybridization is rare between animal species. We use a multilocus approach to examine …

The question we address in this article is how hybridization in the recent past can be
detected in recently evolved species. Such species may not have evolved genetic …

The tribe Bovini comprises cattle and cattle-like species. Reconstructions of their phylogeny
have so far been incomplete and have yielded conflicting conclusions about the relationship …
