Species delimitation is the act of identifying species‐level biological diversity. In recent
years, the field has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of methods available for …

The statistical rigor of species delimitation has increased dramatically over the past decade.
Coalescent theory provides powerful models for population genetic inference, and is now …

This paper provides an overview and a tutorial of the BPP program, which is a Bayesian
MCMC program for analyzing multi-locus genomic sequence data under the multispecies …

Tropical Africa is home to an astonishing biodiversity occurring in a variety of ecosystems.
Past climatic change and geological events have impacted the evolution and diversification …

Species are fundamental units in biological research and can be defined on the basis of
various operational criteria. There has been growing use of molecular approaches for …

A method was developed for simultaneous Bayesian inference of species delimitation and
species phylogeny using the multispecies coalescent model. The method eliminates the …

The multispecies coalescent has provided important progress for evolutionary inferences,
including increasing the statistical rigor and objectivity of comparisons among competing …

Eight extant species of pangolins are currently recognized. Recent studies found that two
mitochondrial haplotypes identified in confiscations in Hong Kong could not be assigned to …

Given the problems of species delimitation in algae using morphology or sexual
compatibility, molecular data are becoming the standard for delimiting species and testing …

Background Molecular methods of species delineation are rapidly develo** and widely
