Simulation‐based methods such as approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) are well‐
adapted to the analysis of complex scenarios of populations and species genetic history. In …

Abstract Background MacArthur and Wilson's theory of island biogeography has been a
foundation for obtaining testable predictions from models of community assembly and for …

Most approaches to species delimitation to date have considered divergence-only models.
Although these models are appropriate for allopatric speciation, their failure to incorporate …

One major challenge to delimiting species with genetic data is successfully differentiating
population structure from species-level divergence, an issue exacerbated in taxa inhabiting …

High‐throughput sequencing data have greatly improved our ability to understand the
processes that contribute to current biodiversity patterns. The “vanishing refuge” …

Cornstalks show promise as a raw material for polysaccharide production through xylanase.
Rapid and accurate prediction of polysaccharide yield can facilitate process optimization …

Identification of partial sweeps, which include both hard and soft sweeps that have not
currently reached fixation, provides crucial information about ongoing evolutionary …

Abstract Aim Knowledge about the Neotropical dry formations, particularly the Caatinga,
remains rudimentary compared to other biotas in the region. Here we address several …

Aim Past glacial cycles have generated lineage diversity in alpine habitats, acting as a
climate‐driven species pump. It is not clear how much this process contributes to ecological …

The discipline of phylogeography has evolved rapidly in terms of the analytical toolkit used
to analyse large genomic data sets. Despite substantial advances, analytical tools that could …
