Comparative Phylogeography of Southern African Bird Species Suggests an Ephemeral Speciation Model
Diversity, 2021 Southern Africa is remarkably rich in avian species diversity; however, the evolutionary and biogeographic mechanisms responsible for that diversity are, in general, poorly understood, and this is particularly true with respect to the many species that ...

Are mutagenic non D-loop direct repeat motifs in mitochondrial DNA under a negative selection pressure? [PDF]
, 2017 Non D-loop direct repeats (DRs) in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been commonly implicated in the mutagenesis of mtDNA deletions associated with neuromuscular disease and ageing.

SwarmGenomics: A Unified Pipeline for Individual‐Based Whole‐Genome Analyses
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT Advances in sequencing technologies have made whole‐genome data widely accessible, enabling research in population genetics, evolutionary biology, and conservation. However, analysing whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) data remains challenging, often requiring multiple specialised tools and substantial bioinformatics expertise.

A new species of Muscicapa flycatcher from Sulawesi, Indonesia.
PLoS ONE, 2014 The Indonesian island of Sulawesi, a globally important hotspot of avian endemism, has been relatively poorly studied ornithologically, to the extent that several new bird species from the region have been described to science only recently, and others ...

The Maluridae: Inferring Avian Biology and Evolutionary History from DNA Sequences [PDF]
, 2014 The Australo-Papuan fairy-wrens, emu-wrens and grasswrens comprise the passerine family Maluridae. They have long been known for their spectacular plumages, remarkable behavioural ecology and intriguing biogeography.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Environmental DNA metabarcoding detected consistent patterns in microhabitat use of fish species within lakes and tidal creeks. Although richness was similar among microhabitats, multivariate analyses revealed fine‐scale community differentiation aligned with known habitat preferences, demonstrating eDNA reveals habitat use at spatial scales of tens‐of‐

Genetic Divergence of an Avian Endemic on the Californian Channel Islands. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The Californian Channel Islands are near-shore islands with high levels of endemism, but extensive habitat loss has contributed to the decline or extinction of several endemic taxa. A key parameter for understanding patterns of endemism and demography in
