Species concepts and the ontology of evolution

Joel Cracraft, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1987 - 
TL;DR: These ontological and biological difficulties can be alleviated if species are defined in terms of evolutionary units, which are irreducible clusters of reproductively cohesive organisms that are diagnosably distinct from other such clusters.

Molecular Systematics of the Rhinocryptid Genus Pteroptochos

R. Terry Chesser
- 01 May 1999 - 
TL;DR: Relationships within the rhinocryptid genus Pteroptochos (huet-huets and turca) were investigated using complete sequences of the mitochondrial genes COII and ND3, and it was revealed that P. castaneus, P. tarnii, and P. megapodius constitute separate lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insect species richness tracking plant species richness in a diverse flora: gall-insects in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa.

Mark G. Wright, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1998 - 
TL;DR: Fynbos GSR is comparable to other sclerophyllous regions of high GSR globally, corroborating that this vegetation type is conducive to gall-insect diversification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inferences from a rapidly moving hybrid zone.

Kanchon K. Dasmahapatra, +9 more
- 01 Apr 2002 - 
TL;DR: The concordance of morphological and mtDNA clines between 1994 and 2000, in spite of hybrid zone movement, suggests strong epistasis between the mitochondrial genome and nuclear loci, and may be more important in biogeography and evolution than generally realized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetics of hybrid male sterility between drosophila sibling species: a complex web of epistasis is revealed in interspecific studies.

M. F. Palopoli, +1 more
- 01 Oct 1994 - 
TL;DR: Significant epistasis between conspecific genes appears to be a common component of hybrid sterility between recently diverged species of Drosophila.
