Regional phylogeographical studies involving co‐distributed animal and plant species have
been conducted for several areas, most notably for Europe and the Pacific Northwest of …

BIOLOGICAL DATA ON THE GREEN TURTLE CHELONIA MYDAS (LINNAEUS 1758) Fish and …

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

There is increasing evidence for variation in rates of nucleotide substitution among divergent
taxonomic groups. Here, we summarize published rate data and show a strong relationship …

Marine turtles occupy a wide range of terrestrial and marine habitats, and many aspects of
their life history have been demonstrated to be closely tied to climatic variables such as …

Molecular methods as applied to the biogeography of single species (phylogeography) or
multiple codistributed species (comparative phylogeography) have been productively and …

Mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) is among the most extensively sequenced genes to date
across the vertebrates. Here, we employ nearly 2,000 cytb gene sequences from GenBank …

Although hybridization and introgression have been considered important in generation of
plant diversity, their role in evolutionary diversification of animals remains unclear. In this …

The seven species of sea turtles occupy a diversity of niches, and have a history tracing
back over 100 million years, yet all share basic life‐history features, including exceptional …

To address aspects of the evolution and natural history of green turtles, we assayed
mitochondrial (mt) DNA genotypes from 226 specimens representing 15 major rookeries …
