Phylogenetic trees in insects are frequently dated by applying a “standard” mitochondrial
DNA (mtDNA) clock estimated at 2.3% My− 1, but despite its wide use reliable calibration …

Nested clade phylogeographic analysis (NCPA) is a popular method for reconstructing the
demographic history of spatially distributed populations from genetic data. Although some …

Reliable assignment of an unknown query sequence to its correct species remains a
methodological problem for the growing field of DNA barcoding. While great advances have …

Abstract Antrodiaetus riversi (Araneae, Antrodiaetidae) is a dispersal‐limited, habitat
specialized mygalomorph spider species endemic to mesic woodlands of northern and …

La filogeografía se define como la disciplina que estudia los principios y procesos que
gobiernan la distribución geográfica de los linajes genealógicos. Dos de las áreas de …

DNA barcoding as a method for species identification is rapidly increasing in popularity.
However, there are still relatively few rigorous methodological tests of DNA barcoding …

Despite the number of evolutionary, ecological and conservation studies that are conducted
on Carabus, the global evolutionary history of the genus remains poorly understood. Here …

As molecular identification method, DNA barcoding based on partial cytochrome c oxidase
subunit 1 (COI) sequences has been proven to be a useful tool for species determination in …

Motivation: We explored the feasibility of using unaligned rRNA gene sequences as DNA
barcodes, based on correlation analysis of composition vectors (CVs) derived from …

We have used comparative phylogenetic analysis to infer the age and biogeographical
origins of the Three Kings Islands insect fauna, an archipelago only 56 km off the northern …
