Gene Flow Increases Phylogenetic Structure and Inflates Cryptic Species Estimations: A Case Study on Widespread Philippine Puddle Frogs (Occidozyga laevis)
In cryptic amphibian complexes, there is a growing trend to equate high levels of genetic
structure with hidden cryptic species diversity. Typically, phylogenetic structure and distance …

Genetic variation and relationships among Afrotropical species of Myotis (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)
The genus Myotis is nearly cosmopolitan and the second-most speciose genus of mammals,
