Genome sequence data are now being routinely obtained from many nonmodel organisms.
These data contain a wealth of information about the demographic history of the populations …

Resolving the genealogy of life—the phylogenetic relationships that describe the
evolutionary history of species—remains one of the great challenges of systematic biology …

Massively parallel sequencing has revolutionized many areas of biology, but sequencing
large amounts of DNA in many individuals is cost-prohibitive and unnecessary for many …

Targeted enrichment of conserved genomic regions (eg ultraconserved elements or UCEs)
has emerged as a promising tool for inferring evolutionary history in many organismal …

Restriction-site associated DNA (RAD) sequencing and related methods rely on the
conservation of enzyme recognition sites to isolate homologous DNA fragments for …

Museum specimens provide a wealth of information to biologists, but obtaining genetic data
from formalin‐fixed and fluid‐preserved specimens remains challenging. While DNA …

Targeted enrichment of conserved genomic regions is a popular method for collecting large
amounts of sequence data from non‐model taxa for phylogenetic, phylogeographic and …

High-throughput DNA sequencing techniques enable time-and cost-effective sequencing of
large portions of the genome. Instead of sequencing and annotating whole genomes, many …

Single and low copy nuclear genes offer a larger number of, and more rapidly evolving,
characters than the chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal gene sequences that have dominated …

Species are the fundamental units of life and evolution. Their recognition is essential for
science and society. Molecular methods have been increasingly used for the identification of …
