Journal ArticleDOI
Some genetic consequences of ice ages, and their role in divergence and speciation
TL;DR: The genetic effects of pleistocene ice ages are approached by deduction from paleoenvironmental information, by induction from the genetic structure of populations and species, and by their combination to infer likely consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA barcoding Australia's fish species
TL;DR: It is concluded that cox1 sequencing, or ‘barcoding’, can be used to identify fish species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining ‘Evolutionarily Significant Units’ for conservation
TL;DR: With the explicit recognition of the genetic component of biodiversity in conservation legislation of many countries and in the Convention on Biological Diversity, the ESU concept is set to become increasingly significant for conservation of natural as well as captive populations.

Cryptic species as a window on diversity and conservation
David Bickford,David J. Lohman,Navjot S. Sodhi,Peter K. L. Ng,Rudolf Meier,Kevin Winker,Krista K. Ingram,Indraneil Das +7 more
TL;DR: The literature on cryptic and sibling species is synthesized and trends in their discovery are discussed, suggesting that the discovery of cryptic species is likely to be non-random with regard to taxon and biome and could have profound implications for evolutionary theory, biogeography and conservation planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction by hybridization and introgression
TL;DR: Nonindigenous species can bring about a form of extinction of native flora and fauna by hybridization and introgression either through purposeful introduction by humans or through habitat modification, bringing previously isolated species into contact.

Phylogenies and the Comparative Method
TL;DR: A method of correcting for the phylogeny has been proposed, which specifies a set of contrasts among species, contrasts that are statistically independent and can be used in regression or correlation studies.

Testing the Stochasticity of Patterns of Organismal Diversity: An Improved Null Model
Joseph B. Slowinski,Craig Guyer +1 more
TL;DR: A quantitative null model based on a randomly branching Markovian process to test the stochasticity of patterns of diversity as represented by phylogenies of contemporary organisms and believes that this model represents an improvement over earlier models.
