Because of its profound effects on the rates of biological processes such as aerobic
metabolism, environmental temperature plays an important role in sha** the distribution …

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

Evolution occurs rapidly and is an ongoing process in our environments. Evolutionary
principles need to be built into conservation efforts, particularly given the stressful conditions …

Temperature is a critical abiotic factor sha** the distribution and abundance of species,
but the mechanisms that underpin organismal thermal limits remain poorly understood. One …

Research into differences in introgression potential among autosomal, sex-linked, and
mtDNA loci is an active field of inquiry in both model and non-model species. At the same …

The extraordinary species richness of freshwater fishes has attracted much research on
mechanisms and modes of speciation. We here review research on speciation in freshwater …

Metazoans exist only with a continuous and rich supply of chemical energy from oxidative
phosphorylation in mitochondria. The oxidative phosphorylation machinery that mediates …

Mitochondrial genes are widely used in taxonomy and systematics because high mutation
rates lead to rapid sequence divergence and because such changes have long been …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing has led to an unprecedented rise in the
identification of cryptic species. However, it is widely acknowledged that nuclear DNA …

Background Phenotypic plasticity refers to the range of phenotypes a single genotype can
express as a function of its environment. These phenotypic variations are attributable to the …
