With the continued adoption of genome‐scale data in evolutionary biology comes the
challenge of adequately harnessing the information to make accurate phylogenetic …

Genomic studies are revealing that divergence and speciation are marked by gene flow, but
it is not clear whether gene flow has played a prominent role during the generation of …

Aim Our aims were to determine the pattern of genetic variation in the endemic shrub N olina
