Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax account for more than 95% of all human
malaria infections, and thus pose a serious public health challenge. To control and …

Since Darwinian times considerable knowledge has accumulated on the distribution,
physiology and genetics of self-incompatibility (SI) in higher plants. In the second half of this …

Phylogeography is a discipline concerned with various relationships between gene
genealogies—phylogenetics—and geography. The word “phylogeography” was coined in …

Advances in plant cell molecular biology have considerably increased our understanding of
pollen-pistil barriers, particularly those operated by incompatibility mechanisms, and, at the …

Our understanding of balancing selection is currently becoming greatly clarified by new
sequence data being gathered from genes in which polymorphisms are known to be …

Identifying traits that affect rates of speciation and extinction and, hence, explain differences
in species diversity among clades is a major goal of evolutionary biology. Detecting such …

Improvements in genotyping technologies have led to the increased use of genetic
polymorphism for inference about population phenomena, such as migration and selection …

The field of systematic biology has been revitalized and transformed during the last few
decades by the confluence of phylogenetic thinking with ready access to the tools of …

Comparisons of DNA polymorphism within species to divergence between species enables
the discovery of molecular adaptation in evolutionarily constrained genes as well as the …

This report of independent genome sequences of two natural populations of Drosophila
melanogaster (37 from North America and 6 from Africa) provides unique insight into forces …
