Remote sensing has transformed the monitoring of life on Earth by revealing spatial and
temporal dimensions of biological diversity through structural, compositional and functional …

Most empirical and theoretical studies of resource use and population dynamics treat
conspecific individuals as ecologically equivalent. This simplification is only justified if …

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

▪ 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 …

Recent years have seen a debate over various methods that could objectively prioritize
conservation value below the species level. Most prominent among these has been the …

Conservation planning has tended to focus more on pattern (representation) than process
(persistence) and, for the former, has emphasized species and ecosystem or community …

I na recent undergraduate text, Ridley~ discusses no fewer than seven species concepts
(phenetic, biological, recognition, ecological, cladistic, pluralistic and evolutionary), and …

Combining phylogeographic data from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Nearctic and
Palearctic freshwater and anadromous fishes, we used a comparative approach to assess …

A series of recent genetic studies has revealed the remarkably complex picture of
domestication in both New World and Old World livestock. By comparing mitochondrial and …

The control region is the only major non-coding region in the mitochondrial genome of
insects. It is heavily biased to A+ T nucleotides and seems to evolve under a strong …
