Combining nuclear (nuDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers has improved the
power of molecular data to test phylogenetic and phylogeographic hypotheses and has …

Conservation genetics focuses on the effects of contemporary genetic structuring on long‐
term survival of a species. It helps wildlife managers protect biodiversity by identifying a …

Amphibians globally are in decline, yet there is still a tremendous amount of unrecognized
diversity, calling for an acceleration of taxonomic exploration. This process will be greatly …

Species distributed across vast continental areas and across major biomes provide unique
model systems for studies of biotic diversification, yet also constitute daunting financial …

The newts Triturus vulgaris and Triturus montandoni are sister species that exhibit
contrasting levels of intraspecific morphological variation. Triturus vulgaris has a broad …

II. Vicariant Species Formation E. Estimates of Amphibian Species Diversity A. Dichopatric
versus Peripatric V. Correlates, Radiation Trajectories and B. Gene Flow, Dispersal and …

Patterns of interspecific introgression may vary geographically, and the distribution of
introgressed variants can yield insight into the historical dynamics of genetic interactions …

DNA barcoding facilitates the identification of species and the estimation of biodiversity by
using nucleotide sequences, usually from the mitochondrial genome. Most studies …

Hybridization can leave genealogical signatures in an organism's genome, originating from
the parental lineages and persisting over time. This potentially confounds phylogenetic …

Because reproductive isolation often evolves gradually, differentiating lineages may retain
the potential for genetic exchange for prolonged periods, providing an opportunity to …
