northern and southern parts of the Adriatic Sea drainage. Although morphologically similar …

Although the importance of gene flow in the geographic structuring of host–parasite
interactions has been well discussed, little is known about how dispersal drives the spatial …

The lacustrine system of the middle rio Doce basin is considered a paradigm of Pleistocene

Phylogenetic estimation from aligned DNA, RNA or amino acid sequences has attracted
more and more attention in recent years due to its importance in analysis of many fine-scale …

Current evolutionary thinking aims to amalgamate the conjectures first set out in Darwin's
The Origin of Species with modern genetics to form a unified theory of phylogenetic change …

DNA sequences are important sources of data for phylogenetic analysis. Nowadays, DNA
sequencing is a routine technique in molecular biology laboratories. However, there are …
