The phylogenetic relationships of 106 European cyprinid taxa were determined based on
the complete nucleotide sequence (1140 bp) of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. The …

Aim In contrast to the attention given to southern Europe both as a centre of speciation and
differentiation and as a Pleistocene refugium of Western Palaearctic taxa, North Africa has …

To test vicariant speciation hypotheses derived from geological evidence of the closing of
the Tethys Sea, we reconstruct phylogenetic relationships of the predominantly fresh‐water …

Representatives of the genus Salamandra occur in Europe, Northern Africa and the Near
East. Many local variants are known but species and subspecies status of these is still a …

The newts Triturus vulgaris and Triturus montandoni are sister species that exhibit
contrasting levels of intraspecific morphological variation. Triturus vulgaris has a broad …

New analytical methods are improving our ability to reconstruct robust species trees from
multilocus datasets, despite difficulties in phylogenetic reconstruction associated with recent …

Phylogenetic relationships among salamandrids of the “true” salamander clade are
investigated using 2019 aligned base positions (713 parsimony informative) of 20 …

Oscillating glacial cycles over the past 2.4 million years are proposed to have had a major
impact on the diversity of contemporary species communities. We used mitochondrial and …

We used partial sequences of the cytochrome b mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gene, obtained
from 76 individuals representing 45 populations of Iberian Salamandra salamandra plus 15 …
