Species-level paraphyly and polyphyly: frequency, causes, and consequences, with insights from animal mitochondrial DNA
▪ Abstract Many uses of gene trees implicitly assume that nominal species are monophyletic
in their alleles at the study locus. However, in well-sampled gene trees, certain alleles in one …

Evolution of mitochondrial gene content: gene loss and transfer to the nucleus
Mitochondrial gene content is highly variable across extant eukaryotes. The number of
mitochondrial protein genes varies from 3 to 67, while tRNA gene content varies from 0 to …

Primers for a PCR-based approach to mitochondrial genome sequencing in birds and other vertebrates
A PCR-based approach to sequencing complete mitochondrial genomes is described along
with a set of 86 primers designed primarily for avian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). This PCR …

Phylogeny of eagles, Old World vultures, and other Accipitridae based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA
We assessed phylogenetic relationships for birds of prey in the family Accipitridae using
molecular sequence from two mitochondrial genes (1047 bases ND2 and 1041 bases cyt-b) …

The meaning of wild: Genetic and adaptive consequences from large-scale releases of domestic mallards
The translocation of individuals around the world is leading to rising incidences of
anthropogenic hybridization, particularly between domestic and wild congeners. We apply a …

Mitochondrial pseudogenes are pervasive and often insidious in the snap** shrimp genus Alpheus
Here we show that multiple DNA sequences, similar to the mitochondrial cytochrome
oxidase I (COI) gene, occur within single individuals in at least 10 species of the snap** …

A molecular phylogeny of the pheasants and partridges suggests that these lineages are not monophyletic
Cytochromeband D-loop nucleotide sequences were used to study patterns of molecular
evolution and phylogenetic relationships between the pheasants and the partridges, which …
