Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been the workhorse of research in phylogeography for
almost two decades. However, concerns with basing evolutionary interpretations on mtDNA …

The systematics of the avian superfamily Sylvioidea are reviewed, focusing on studies of
relationships among families and within genera, more superficially on taxonomic studies at …

The mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt-b) gene is widely used in systematic studies to resolve
divergences at many taxonomic levels. The present study focuses mainly on the utility of cyt …

An implicit assumption of speciation biology is that population differentiation is an important
stage of evolutionary diversification, but its significance as a rate-limiting control on …

The phylogeny of swallows was reconstructed by comparing segments of three genes,
nuclear β-fibrinogen intron 7 (βfib7), mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb), and mitochondrial …

Microsatellites are difficult to recover from large plant genomes so cross-specific utilisation is
an important source of markers. Fifty microsatellites were tested for cross-specific …

To set the stage for historical analyses of the ecology and behavior of tree swallows and
their allies (genus Tachycineta), we reconstructed the phylogeny of the nine Tachycineta …

The genetic structure of the land snail Helix aspersa was investigated for 21 populations
collected along a road located in the polders of the Bay of Mont‐Saint‐Michel (Brittany …

The passerine genus Pomarea (monarchs, Monarchidae) is endemic to eastern Polynesia,
where it is distributed on high volcanic islands of the Cook, Society, and Marquesas …

Swallows (Hirundinidae) are a globally distributed family of passerine birds that exhibit
remarkable similarity in body shape but tremendous variation in plumage, sociality, nesting …
