▪ Abstract Many uses of gene trees implicitly assume that nominal species are monophyletic
in their alleles at the study locus. However, in well-sampled gene trees, certain alleles in one …

Phylogenetic species recognition and species concepts in fungi. Fungal Genetics and
Biology 31, 000–000. The operational species concept, ie, the one used to recognize …

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

The accuracy of gene flow estimates is unknown in most natural populations because direct
estimates of dispersal are often not possible. These estimates can be highly imprecise or …

Genetic analyses of marine population structure often find only slight geographic
differentiation in species with high dispersal potential. Interpreting the significance of this …

Approximately 20 years ago, Avise and colleagues proposed the integration of
phylogenetics and population genetics for investigating the connection between micro-and …

Cassava (Manihot esculenta subsp. esculenta) is a staple crop with great economic
importance worldwide, yet its evolutionary and geographical origins have remained …

The tools of molecular genetics have enormous potential for clarifying the nature and age of
species boundaries in marine organisms. Below I summarize the genetic implications of …

To critically examine the relationship between species recognized by phylogenetic and
reproductive compatibility criteria, we applied phylogenetic species recognition (PSR) to the …

We review recent trends in phylogeography and phylogenetics and argue that these two
fields stand to be reunited by the common yardstick provided by sequence and SNP data …
