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

Phylogeographical inferences, applied in a comparative framework across multiple species
at a regional scale, provide the means for detecting regional and landscape-level patterns of …

Testing hypotheses on drivers of clade evolution and trait diversification provides insight into
many aspects of evolutionary biology. Often, studies investigate only intrinsic biological …

Understanding the factors that cause heterogeneity among gene trees can increase the
accuracy of species trees. Discordant signals across the genome are commonly produced …

We assessed the genetic structure of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera across a broad
latitudinal range along the southeastern Pacific coast (SEP). Specifically we analyzed the …

Abstract Background South America's western coastline, extending in a near-straight line
across some 35 latitudinal degrees, presents an elegant setting for assessing both …

Lizards have been model organisms for ecological and evolutionary studies from individual
to community levels at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Here we highlight lizards as …

We employed DNA sequence variation at two mitochondrial (control region, COI) regions
from 212 individuals of Galaxias platei (Pisces, Galaxiidae) collected throughout Patagonia …

We report pollen, spore, and charcoal records from Lago Augusta (47° 05′ S, 72° 23′ W,
440 m asl), a small closed-basin lake located near the modern forest-steppe ecotone east of …

Climatic oscillations, heterogeneity in elevation, topographical position, and isolation time in
southwestern Patagonia have been important in promoting diversification of the biota …
