TLDR
A population of constant size is subjected to mutation, such that each mutant is of a new allelic type, and the age of an allele, whose present frequency is known, is a random variable with distribution independent of the frequencies of other alleles.About:

INFERRING PHYLOGENIES FROM mtDNA VARIATION: MITOCHONDRIAL-GENE TREES VERSUS NUCLEAR-GENE TREES.
TL;DR: An accurately resolved gene tree may not be congruent with the species tree because of lineage sorting of ancestral polymorphisms, but a survey of mtDNA‐haplotype diversity in 34 species of birds indicates that coalescence is generally very recent, which suggests that coalescent times are typically much shorter than internodal branch lengths of the species Tree, and that sorting of mt DNA lineages is not likely to confound the species trees.

Empirical Tests of Some Predictions from Coalescent Theory with Applications to Intraspecific Phylogeny Reconstruction
TL;DR: This work has shown that haplotype frequency in the sample contains information on the topological position of a given haplotype in a cladogram, which will allow one to reduce the number of alternative phylogenies and incorporate the uncertainties involved in reconstructing intraspecific phylogenies into subsequent analyses that depend heavily in the topology of the tree.
Journal ArticleDOI
Line-of-descent and genealogical processes, and their applications in population genetics models
TL;DR: A wide variety of results pertinent to the classical multiallele single-locus Wright-Fisher model and its relatives are simplified and unified by the principle aim of demonstrating the central importance and simplicity of genealogical Markov chains in this theory.

Phylogeographic history of the land snail candidula unifasciata (helicellinae, stylommatophora): fragmentation, corridor migration, and secondary contact
Markus Pfenninger,David Posada +1 more
TL;DR: The study revealed the presence of two major evolutionary lineages that evolved in separate refuges in southeast France as result of previous fragmentation during the Pleistocene and inferred that range expansions along river valleys in independent corridors to the north led eventually to a secondary contact zone of the major clades around the Geneva Basin.

Random processes in genetics
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of the number of a-genes in a haploid organism when mutation is occurring in both directions is analyzed. But the authors assume that births and deaths occur individually at random so that the generations are no longer simultaneous.
