Elaboration of Bayesian phylogenetic inference methods has continued at pace in recent
years with major new advances in nearly all aspects of the joint modelling of evolutionary …

Abstract New, rapid, accurate, scalable, and cost-effective species discovery and
delimitation methods are needed for tackling “dark taxa,” here defined as groups for which …

Abstract Background Tree squirrels (Sciuridae, Sciurini), in particular the highly diverse
Neotropical lineages, are amongst the most rapidly diversifying branches of the mammal …

Intraspecific variability of tardigrades is a poorly investigated field. The great majority of
tardigrade species were described using single populations, sometimes even single …

The eastern Palaearctic is a centre of diversity for freshwater cladocerans (Crustacea), but
little is known about the evolution and taxonomy of this diversity. Daphnia curvirostris is a …

Background Austropotamobius torrentium is a freshwater crayfish species native to central
and south-eastern Europe, with an intricate evolutionary history and the highest genetic …

Abstract Giardia duodenalis, Giardia enterica, Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia are
the synonyms for a species complex of 8–11 phylogenetically distinct species of Giardia …

With 149 currently recognized species, Hypostomus is one of the most species-rich catfish
genera in the world, widely distributed over most of the Neotropical region. To clarify the …

Representatives of the genus Alonella Sars (Crustacea: Cladocera: Chydorinae) belong to
the smallest known water fleas. Although species of Alonella are widely distributed and often …

We assess the phylogeographic structure and test several species delimitation methods in
the forest-living Pondo flat-gecko, Afroedura pondolia, by sampling specimens from across …
