Phylogeography of regional fauna on the Tibetan Plateau: A review
- Shu-juan Yang, Hailiang Dong, Hailiang Dong, Fumin Lei
- Geology
- 10 July 2009
The studies of uplift and glaciations of the Tibetan Plateau are summarized, and a series of recent case studies of the endemic species based on DNA sequences are detailed. In general, these… Expand
Organism–environment interactions in a changing world: a mechanistic approach
- J. Wingfield, J. Patrick Kelley, +7 authors Gang Wang

Understanding the interactions of an organism and its environment is essential for us to integrate ultimate and proximate causation on a global scale. Organism–environment interaction includes all… Expand
Shaped by uneven Pleistocene climate: mitochondrial phylogeographic pattern and population history of white wagtail Motacilla alba (Aves: Passeriformes)
We studied the phylogeography and population history of the white wagtail Motacilla alba , which has a vast breeding range, covering areas with diff erent Pleistocene climatic histories. Th e… Expand

The spread of H5N1 virus into a wide range of avian and mammalian species may facilitate the adaptation of the virus to human populations. In the present study, a survey of avian influenza virus in… Expand
Gene flow maintains genetic diversity and colonization potential in recently range‐expanded populations of an Oriental bird, the Light‐vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis, Aves: Pycnonotidae)
Aim
Two alternative genetic patterns are typical in recently established populations. One is reduced genetic diversity but significant population structuring compared with original populations.… Expand
