Abstract Here, we describe Assemble Species by Automatic Partitioning (ASAP), a new
method to build species partitions from single locus sequence alignments (ie, barcode data …

Most new cryptic species are described using conventional tree‐and distance‐based
species delimitation methods (SDMs), which rely on phylogenetic arrangements and …

In cryptic amphibian complexes, there is a growing trend to equate high levels of genetic
structure with hidden cryptic species diversity. Typically, phylogenetic structure and distance …

We investigate the phylogeographic structure of a fossorial forest‐living snake species, the
forest thread snake, Leptotyphlopssylvicolus Broadley & Wallach, 1997 by sampling …

Significant advances have been made in species delimitation and numerous methods can
test precisely defined models of speciation, though the synthesis of phylogeography and …

Abstract Background The 16S mitochondrial rRNA gene is the most widely sequenced
molecular marker in amphibian systematic studies, making it comparable to the universal …

Abstract Southeast Asia and southern China (SEA-SC) harbor a highly diverse and endemic
flora and fauna that is under increasing threat. An understanding of the biogeographical …

Simple Summary Insecta is the most diverse group in the kingdom Animalia, and it accounts
for approximately two-thirds of all animals. The most commonly used gene for species …

Species discovery methods utilizing coalescent-based approaches are powerful tools for
detecting cryptic lineages within morphological conservative groups, thus being an …

Situated in the Eastern section of the European Alps, Austria encompasses a great diversity
of different habitat types, ranging from alpine to lowland Pannonian ecosystems, and a …
