Ancestral polymorphisms in genetic markers obscure detection of evolutionarily distinct populations in the endangered Florida grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum floridanus)

TL;DR: It is argued that despite the lack of phylogenetic distinctiveness of floridanus genotypes the observed genetic differentiation and previously documented phenotypic differences justify continued designation of this subspecies as a protected population segment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of sequence variation in the mitochondrial D-loop region of shrews.

TL;DR: Direct sequencing of the mitochondrial displacement loop of shrews (genus Sorex) for the region between the tRNA(Pro) and the conserved sequence block-F revealed variable numbers of 79-bp tandem repeats, which are consistent with a model of concerted evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

A molecular timescale for galliform birds accounting for uncertainty in time estimates and heterogeneity of rates of DNA substitutions across lineages and sites

TL;DR: Estimating divergence times using a Bayesian framework for Galliformes divergence times indicated that Megapodiidae and Cracidae, and likely Odontophoridae, originated in the Cretaceous, and estimates based on concatenated genes are less affected by stochastic error among sites and less influenced by the phylogenetic signals of individual gene partitions.
