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

TL;DR: The level of genetic differentiation amongst almost all (34 out of 38) of the surviving British populations of this species, and among six new populations established by translocations during the 1980s, is investigated.

Molecular Ecology

TL;DR: The northern ornate shrew clade is phylogenetically clustered with another species of shrew suggesting that it may be a unique lowland form of the vagrant shrew that evolved in parallel to their southern California counterparts.

Molecular Ecology

TL;DR: This study examines a natural vertebrate system of sequential colonization among northwestern song sparrows and shows that sequential bottlenecks or founder events can have powerful genetic effects in reducing diversity, possibly leading to rapid evolutionary divergence.

TL;DR: It is concluded that although floral isolation and spatial segregation may be important contributory factors, morphological differences between species are probably maintained primarily by strong selective forces associated with habitat (ecological isolation).
