Approximately 20 years ago, Avise and colleagues proposed the integration of phylogenetics and population genetics for investigating the connection between micro- and macroevolutionary phenomena. The… Expand
Delimiting species without monophyletic gene trees.

- 1 December 2007
Genetic data are frequently used to delimit species, where species status is determined on the basis of an exclusivity criterium, such as reciprocal monophyly. Not only are there numerous empirical… Expand
SpedeSTEM: a rapid and accurate method for species delimitation

- 1 June 2007
Abstract Understanding the factors that contribute to the formation of population genetic structure is a central goal of phylogeographic research, but achieving this goal can be complicated by the… Expand
