Evolution of Population Structure in a Highly Social Top Predator, the Killer Whale

TL;DR: The data indicate a key role for social and foraging behavior in the evolution of genetic structure among conspecific populations of the killer whale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using phylogenetic trees to study speciation and extinction.

TL;DR: It is shown how simple models of speciation and extinction lead directly to predictions of the structure of phylogenetic trees, and proposed that it may be useful to think of the diversification of recently formed monophyletic groups as a random speciation process without extinction.

In defence of model-based inference in phylogeography

TL;DR: It is argued that ABC is a statistically valid approach, alongside other computational statistical techniques that have been successfully used to infer parameters and compare models in population genetics, and is encouraging researchers to study and use model‐based inference in population Genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA sequence variation at the period locus within and among species of the Drosophila melanogaster complex.

TL;DR: It appears that D. simulans, as a large population still segregating very old lineages, gave rise to the island species D. mauritiana and D. sechellia, and the order, in time, of these two phylogenetic events remains unclear.
