Systematics of the Damon variegatus group of African whip spiders (Chelicerata: Amblypygi): Evidence from behaviour, morphology and DNA
TL;DR: This contribution attempts to determine whether D. variegatus is monophyletic and comprises more than one species, by investigating three sources of evidence: behaviour, morphology and DNA.

TL;DR: It is shown that gene loss has “streamlined” trypanosomatid genomes, particularly with respect to macromolecular degradation and ion transport, but consistent with a widespread loss of functional redundancy, while adaptive radiations of gene families involved in membrane function provide the principal innovations intrypanosOMatid evolution.
Book ChapterDOI
Genetics of marine bioinvasions
TL;DR: The twofold goal of this paper is to discuss the application of molecular genetic techniques to fundamental ecological questions pertaining to bioinvasions and to demonstrate the utility of DNA technology in providing data useful in the development of predictive models for marine bioinvasion science.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social mimicry; character convergence versus character displacement.
TL;DR: The following paper will be primarily a review of some of the different factors favoring divergence or convergence among species, and a somewhat speculative attempt to determine the "typical" temporal relationship among species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Macroecology of Cyprinella: Correlates of Phylogeny, Body Size, and Geographical Range
TL;DR: The relationship between range size and body size for a monophyletic group of 27 North American minnow species was examined, and there was a significant positive correlation between body size and range size.
