One of the strengths of the maximum likelihood method of phylogenetic estimation is the ease with which hypotheses can be formulated and tested. Maximum likelihood analysis of …
The rapid development of DNA sequencing technology in recent years has provided new tools for phylogenetic data acquisition. By using high‐throughput DNA sequencing …
The species problem has triggered the publication of an almost infinite number of theoretical and practical studies, including quite a number of books. I should, therefore, perhaps briefly …
Despite the broad benefits that DNA barcoding can bring to a diverse range of biological disciplines, a number of shortcomings still exist in terms of the experimental design of …
Cataloging the very large number of undescribed species of insects could be greatly accelerated by automated DNA based approaches, but procedures for large-scale species …
For anyone with interests in a group of organisms as large and diverse as the Crustacea, it is difficult to grasp the enormity of the entire taxon at one time. Those who work on crustaceans …
Molecular methods as applied to the biogeography of single species (phylogeography) or multiple codistributed species (comparative phylogeography) have been productively and …
The study of evolution at the molecular level has given the subject of evolutionary biology a new significance. Phylogenetic'trees' of gene sequences are a powerful tool for recovering …
