BIOSYS-1: a FORTRAN program for the comprehensive analysis of electrophoretic data in population genetics and systematics

TL;DR: This study shows that starch-gel electrophoresis may be useful at higher taxonomic levels and suggests agreement among independently derived hypotheses of interfamilial relationships suggests confidence in knowledge of evolutionary patterns among piciform taxa.

A revised taxonomy of crested newts in the Triturus karelinii group (Amphibia: Caudata: Salamandridae), with the description of a new species

Zootaxa

TL;DR: Based on the presence of discrete nuclear DNA gene pools, deep genetic divergence of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, and no indication of gene flow, the crested newt Triturus karelinii sensu lato is interpreted as comprising two species: one covering the southern Caspian Sea shore, the Caucasus and the Crimea, i.e. the eastern part of the total range and another covering northern Asiatic Turkey and western As iatic Turkey plus the southeastern Balkan Peninsula.

Marine Biology

TL;DR: Spatial structuring of genetic diversity was shown to follow different models, depending on the geographic scale considered: a stepping-stone model provided a good fit at a wide scale, with gene flow inversely related to geographic distance, whereas at small scale, genetic relationships among samples could not be interpreted as simply the effect of physical distance among populations.

TL;DR: The allozyme results do not support the specific status of mitten crab previously classified as E. japonicus and E. sinensis, and morphological differences between mitten crabs of southern and northern China might be ecophenotypic.

TL;DR: The results suggest that establishment and long term maintenance of the Melgar colony has had little effect on the level of isozyme variability it carries, and provide additional support for the earlier report that populations from the three countries represent distinct species.
