Delimiting and naming biodiversity is a vital step toward wildlife conservation and research.
However, species delimitation must be consistent across biota so that the limited resources …

Thanks to the development of high‐throughput sequencing technologies, target enrichment
sequencing of nuclear ultraconserved DNA elements (UCEs) now allows routine inference …

Ancient DNA has provided new insights into many aspects of human history. However, we
lack comprehensive studies of the Y chromosomes of Denisovans and Neanderthals …

A recent revision of the anacondas (Serpentes: Boidae: Eunectes), with the description of a
new species of green anaconda, generated extensive publicity, but also provoked …

Hybridization is not always limited to two species; often multiple species are interbreeding.
In birds, there are numerous examples of species that hybridize with multiple other species …

The advent of genomic methods allows us to revisit the evolutionary history of organismal
groups for which robust phylogenies are still lacking, particularly in species complexes that …

True toads of the genus Rhinella are among the most common and diverse group of
Neotropical anurans. These toads are widely distributed throughout South America …

Subdivided Pleistocene glacial refugia, best known as “refugia within refugia”, provided
opportunities for diverging populations to evolve into incipient species and/or to hybridize …

The radiation of Palearctic green toads (Bufotes) holds great potential to evaluate the role of
hybridization in phylogeography at multiple stages along the speciation continuum. With …

Assessing the relative importance of the various pathways to diversification is a central goal
of biodiversity researchers. For plant biologists, and increasingly across the spectrum of …
