▪ 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 …

The study of reproductive isolation and species barriers frequently focuses on mitochondrial
genomes and has produced two alternative and almost diametrically opposed narratives. On …

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

Although they are among the most abundant of all living things and provide essential
oxygen, food, and shelter to the animal kingdom, few books pay any attention to how and …

Interspecific hybridization occurs widelyacross a taxonomically diverse array of fishspecies.
Multiple factors typically interactto effect the outcome of hybridization events. Human …

As mitochondria are inherited in a matrilinear way, an animal hybrid contains the
mitochondrial DNA of its 'mother species'. Of 80 studies that analysed the mitochondrial DNA …

Hybrids have long been recognized as a potential pathway for gene flow between species
that can have important consequences for evolution and conservation biology. However, few …

Hybridization among animal species has recently become more recognized as an important
phenomenon, especially in the context of recent radiations [1–9]. Here we show that …

The natural distribution of honeybee subspecies in Europe has been significantly affected by
human activities during the last century. Non‐native subspecies of honeybees have been …

In this study, 229 DNA sequences of cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI) from 158
marine fishes of Japan were employed to test the efficacy of species identification by DNA …
