Regional phylogeographical studies involving co-distributed animal and plant species have been conducted for several areas, most notably for Europe and the Pacific Northwest of North America. Until… (More)
PREMISE OF THE STUDY
Noncoding chloroplast DNA (NC-cpDNA) sequences are the staple data source of low-level phylogeographic and phylogenetic studies of angiosperms. We followed up on previous papers… (More)
Persistent seed banks may provide information on historical changes in the genetic composition of populations. We used stratified sampling of the soil seed bank of Astragalus bibullatus (Pyne's… (More)
Eastern North American plant biogeography has traditionally focused on two primary issues: (i) the location of temperate Pleistocene refugia and their proximity to the southern margin of the ice… (More)
Subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest (EBLF) is one of the most important vegetation types in China. Inferences from palaeo-biome reconstruction (PBR) and phylogeography regarding range shift… (More)
We describe techniques that enable the preservation of tissues from the rhizocephalan barnacle, Loxothylacus texanus, inside the body cavities of blue crab hosts, Callinectes sapidus, in a manner… (More)

PREMISE OF THE STUDY
Habitat fragmentation is often assumed to result in limited genetic diversity across impacted plant communities. Central Florida has undergone extensive… (More)
Effective workflows are essential components in the digitization of biodiversity specimen collections. To date, no comprehensive, community-vetted workflows have been published for digitizing flat… (More)
Plant studies comprise a relatively small proportion of the phylogeographic literature, likely as a consequence of the fundamental challenges posed by the complex genomic structures and life history… (More)
The federally endangered Alabama red-bellied turtle (ARBT; Pseudemys alabamensis) occurs in an isolated range in southern Alabama and Mississippi. Several distinct nesting populations of ARBT exist… (More)
