Glutathione peroxidases (EC 1.11. 1.9 and EC 1.11. 1.12) catalyze the reduction of H2O2 or
organic hydroperoxides to water or corresponding alcohols using reduced glutathione …

▪ Abstract Insect molecular systematics has undergone remarkable recent growth. Advances
in methods of data generation and analysis have led to the accumulation of large amounts of …

Recently, the role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences in taxonomy and phylogenetic
inference has become contentious, and two extreme viewpoints have emerged, although, as …

Increasing the number of characters used in phylogenetic studies is the next crucial step
towards generating robust and stable phylogenetic hypotheses—ie, strongly supported and …

We analyzed 12 combined mitochondrial and nuclear gene datasets in seven orders of
insects using both equal weights parsimony (to evaluate phylogenetic utility) and Bayesian …

Molecular tools are a standard part of many conservation studies and can be informative at
many different levels of analysis, although there are inherent limitations and strengths of …

Voles of the genus Microtus represent one of the most speciose mammalian genera in the
Holarctic. We established a molecular phylogeny for Microtus to resolve contentious issues …

Conditional combination of phylogenetic data requires definition of explicit criteria for
combinability (Bull et al., 1993). In this con-text, combinability refers to the methodolog-ical …

Despite the fact that Bicyclus anynana has become an important model species for wing-
pattern developmental biology and studies of phenotypic plasticity, little is known of the …

We have inferred the first empirically supported hypothesis of relationships for the
cosmopolitan butterfly subfamily Satyrinae. We used 3090 base pairs of DNA from the …
