Species-level paraphyly and polyphyly: frequency, causes, and consequences, with insights from animal mitochondrial DNA
▪ Abstract Many uses of gene trees implicitly assume that nominal species are monophyletic
in their alleles at the study locus. However, in well-sampled gene trees, certain alleles in one …
