Journal ArticleDOI
Numerous transposed sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I-II in aphids of the genus Sitobion (Hemiptera: Aphididae).
Paul Sunnucks,Dinah F. Hales +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a proportion of the inferred change in the nonmitochondrial sequences occurred before transposition, and that Sitobion aphids (and other species exhibiting mtDNA transposition) may be important for studying the molecular evolution of mtDNA and pseudogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient genetic markers for population biology.
TL;DR: Single-locus genetic markers and those that produce gene genealogies yield information that is truly comparable among studies and answer biological questions most efficiently and also contribute to much broader investigations of evolutionary, population and conservation biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments : a genetic perspective
Andrew Weeks,Carla M. Sgrò,Andrew G. Young,Richard Frankham,Nicki Mitchell,Kim A. Miller,Margaret Byrne,David J. Coates,Mark D. B. Eldridge,Paul Sunnucks,Martin F. Breed,Elizabeth A. James,Ary A. Hoffmann +12 more
TL;DR: A classification of translocations based on specific genetic goals for both threatened species and ecological restoration is provided, separating targets based on ‘genetic rescue’ of current population fitness from those focused on maintaining adaptive potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
SSCP is not so difficult: the application and utility of single-stranded conformation polymorphism in evolutionary biology and molecular ecology.
Paul Sunnucks,Alex C.C. Wilson,Luciano B. Beheregaray,Kyall R. Zenger,Jordan French,Andrea Carolyn Taylor +5 more
TL;DR: SSCP (single‐stranded conformation polymorphism) offers a sensitive but inexpensive, rapid, and convenient method for determining which DNA samples in a set differ in sequence, so that only an informative subset need be sequenced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decline of a biome: Evolution, contraction, fragmentation, extinction and invasion of the Australian mesic zone biota
Margaret Byrne,Dorothy A. Steane,Leo Joseph,David K. Yeates,Gregory J. Jordan,Darren M. Crayn,Ken Aplin,David J. Cantrill,Lynette Gai Cook,Michael D. Crisp,J. Scott Keogh,Jane Melville,Craig Moritz,Nicholas Porch,J. M. Kale Sniderman,Paul Sunnucks,Peter H. Weston +16 more
TL;DR: The aims are to review and refine key hypotheses derived from palaeoclimatic data and the fossil record that are critical to understanding the evolution of the Australian mesic biota and examine predictions arising from these hypotheses using available molecular phylogenetic and phylogeographical data.
