Whole-genome sequencing projects are increasingly populating the tree of life and
characterizing biodiversity 1 , 2 , 3 – 4 . Sparse taxon sampling has previously been proposed to …

A growing variety of “genotype-by-sequencing” (GBS) methods use restriction enzymes and
high throughput DNA sequencing to generate data for a subset of genomic loci, allowing the …

Serpentine barrens represent extreme hazards for plant colonists. These sites are characterized
by high porosity leading to drought, lack of essential mineral nutrients, and phytotoxic …

Speciation is a continuous and dynamic process, and studying organisms during the early
stages of this process can aid in identifying speciation mechanisms. The mallard (Anas …

Rapid diversification is often associated with morphological or ecological adaptations that
allow organisms to radiate into novel niches. Neotropical Adelpha butterflies, which comprise …

IN this paper I propose to consider a form of cardiac malady common among soldiers, but
the study of which is equally interesting to the civil practitioner, on account of its intimate …

Genotype-by-sequencing (GBS) methods have revolutionized the field of molecular ecology,
but their application in molecular phylogenetics remains somewhat limited. In addition, …

Recently evolved species typically share genetic variation across their genomes due to
incomplete lineage sorting and/or ongoing gene flow. Given only subtle allele frequency …

Large multi-locus data sets provide an unprecedented opportunity for detecting fine-scale
population structure and identifying populations that warrant independent conservation and …

The ‘Great American Interchange’ (GAI) is recognized as having had a dramatic effect on
biodiversity throughout the Neotropics. However, investigation of patterns in Neotropical avian …
