Multiplex PCR for differentiating Ornithodoros tick vectors in South Africa: Proof of concept [PDF]
African swine fever (ASF) is a severe viral haemorrhagic disease affecting domestic pigs, maintained by ASF virus within an ancient sylvatic cycle involving Ornithodoros ticks that inhabit warthog burrows.

Fine Scale Phylogeography of Urban Western European Hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus in South‐East England [PDF]
Preserving genetic diversity within species and populations is an important conservation goal, yet observed genetic structure can be influenced by both contemporary and historical processes. Here, we investigate the phylogeography of the western European

Spatial and temporal phylogeny of border disease virus in pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra p. Pyrenaica) [PDF]
Border disease virus (BDV) affects a wide range of ruminants worldwide, mainly domestic sheep and goat. Since 2001 several outbreaks of disease associated to BDV infection have been described in Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica) in Spain ...

Conservation and Phylogeography of Plants: From the Mediterranean to the Rest of the World
During the last decades, phylogeography has transformed the ways to analyze and understand plant diversity and biogeography. The repeated and increasingly detailed articles made from DNA data with phylogeographical procedures and algorithms have ...

Phylogeographic triangulation: using predator-prey-parasite interactions to infer population history from partial genetic information. [PDF]
Phylogeographic studies, which infer population history and dispersal movements from intra-specific spatial genetic variation, require expensive and time-consuming analyses that are not always feasible, especially in the case of rare or endangered ...

Phylogeography by diffusion on a sphere: whole world phylogeography [PDF]
Background Techniques for reconstructing geographical history along a phylogeny can answer many questions of interest about the geographical origins of species. Bayesian models based on the assumption that taxa move through a diffusion process have found

Phylogeography and Phylogenetic Evolution in Tibetan Sheep Based on MT-CYB Sequences
To date, molecular genetics and population studies in Tibetan sheep (Ovis aries) have been limited, and little is known about the phylogenetic evolution and phylogeography of Tibetan sheep populations.

Practice-oriented controversies and borrowed epistemic credibility in current evolutionary biology: phylogeography as a case study [PDF]
Although there is increasing recognition that theory and practice in science are intimately intertwined, philosophy of science perspectives on scientific controversies have been historically focused on theory rather than practice.
