Molecular estimates of evolutionary timescales have an important role in a range of
biological studies. Such estimates can be made using methods based on molecular clocks …

To elucidate the origins of the Japanese mammalian fauna from the perspectives of
biogeography and community ecology, I reviewed molecular phylogenetic and …

The Beringian Coevolution Project (BCP), a field program underway in the high northern
latitudes since 1999, has focused on building key scientific infrastructure for integrated …

Integration of molecular methods, ecological modeling, and statistical hypothesis testing are
increasing our understanding of differentiation within species and phylogenetic relationships …

We provide an expansive analysis of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) circumpolar genetic
variation during the last two decades of decline in their sea-ice habitat. We sought to …

Comparative phylogeographic investigations have identified congruent phylogeographic
breaks in co-distributed species in nearly every region of the world. The qualitative …

There is now considerable evidence for the survival of temperate species within glacial
refugia that were situated at relatively high latitudes, notably the Carpathian Basin and …

During the Quaternary, large climate oscillations impacted the distribution and demography
of species globally. Two approaches have played a major role in reconstructing changes …

The evolutionary consequences of natural introgression provide a rare opportunity to
retrospectively evaluate how the introduction of exotics or genetic rescue efforts may impact …

Glacial refugia protected and promoted biodiversity during the Pleistocene, not only at a
broader scale, but also for many endemics that contracted and expanded their ranges within …
