Introduction The major climatic oscillations during the Quaternary Ice Age heavily influenced
the distribution of species and left their mark on intraspecific genetic diversity. Past range …

The shape of hybrid zones provides insight into genetic isolation between the evolutionary
lineages involved: the greater the limitation to gene flow, the farther along the unimodal to …

Genetic pollution of a native species through hybridization with an invasive species poses
an insidious conservation threat. To expose genetic pollution, molecular methods employing …

In the last few years, DNA barcoding became an established method for species
identification in biodiversity inventories and monitoring studies. Such studies depend on the …

In the recently published New Atlas of Amphibians and Reptiles of Europe (Sillero et al.,
