Hybridization has many and varied impacts on the process of speciation. Hybridization may
slow or reverse differentiation by allowing gene flow and recombination. It may accelerate …

Snakes are limbless predators, and many species use venom to help overpower relatively
large, agile prey. Snake venoms are complex protein mixtures encoded by several multilocus …

The newts Triturus vulgaris and Triturus montandoni are sister species that exhibit contrasting
levels of intraspecific morphological variation. Triturus vulgaris has a broad Eurasiatic …

Landscape genetics is an emerging interdisciplinary field that combines methods and
concepts from population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial statistics. The interest in …

Two newt species with contrasting ecological requirements (Triturus cristatus and T.
marmoratus) were radio-tracked after leaving a shared breeding pond in western France. …

… A preliminary account covering 30% of the electrophoretic data has been published (Arntzen,
1986a… WALUS, GP, AND JW ARNTzEN. Mitochondrial-DNA variation in the crested newt su…

Biogeographic characteristic of nine taxon-area-cladograms of various Circum-Mediterranean
terrestrial animal groups are compared. Correlation with palaeogeograhic reconstructions …

In the ponds of some regions of France, Triturus cristatus and Triturus marmoratus coexist and
natural hybrids can be found. In the course of our study examining evolutionary strategies …

New analytical methods are improving our ability to reconstruct robust species trees from
multilocus datasets, despite difficulties in phylogenetic reconstruction associated with recent, …

In this essay we explore questions on how to increase the visibility and utility of genetic
information for biodiversity managers and policy makers. This is discussed in the light of Aichi …
