Reticulation, divergence, and the phylogeography–phylogenetics continuum [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016
Phylogeography, and its extensions into comparative phylogeography, have their roots in the layering of gene trees across geography, a paradigm that was greatly facilitated by the nonrecombining, fast evolution provided by animal mtDNA. As phylogeography

Statistical Phylogeography

Molecular Ecology, 2002
While studies of phylogeography and speciation in the past have largely focused on the documentation or detection of significant patterns of population genetic structure, the emerging field of statistical phylogeography aims to infer the history and processes underlying that structure, and to provide objective, rather than ad hoc explanations.

Phylogeography

2022
Abstract This chapter examines the current state of phylogeographic research in the order Odonata and reviews empirical contributions at both a global scale and within the main biogeographical regions (Holarctic, Tropical, Indo–Malayan, Australasian, and Oceanic–Pacific). It highlights the fundamental processes responsible for the origin

Caribbean Placozoan Phylogeography

The Biological Bulletin, 2006
We here address placozoan distribution and phylogeography in five locations in the Caribbean Sea. We performed a coarse-resolution presence/absence survey of placozoans in Belize, Bermuda, Grenada, Jamaica, and Panama and a fine-resolution study of the distribution of placozoans in Twin Cays, Belize.

The Phylogeography of African Brazilians

Human Heredity, 2007
<i>Background/Aims:</i> Approximately four million Africans were taken as slaves to Brazil, where they interbred extensively with Amerindians and Europeans. We have previously shown that while most White Brazilians carry Y chromosomes of European origin, they display high proportions of African and Amerindian mtDNA lineages, because of sex ...

Phylogeography and Phylodemography

The Bryologist, 2002
Abstract Phylogenetic analyses of infraspecific molecular data in relation to geographic and ecological information has come to be known as phylogeography. Bryophytes offer fertile material for such analyses, which can help clarify long standing biogeographic questions that were intractable before molecular data became available.

Population Genomics and Phylogeography

2019
Population genetics is the study of genetic variation within populations and how allele frequencies change over space and time. This field largely focuses on the five fundamental evolutionary processes that influence genetic variation: mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, natural selection, and recombination.

The phylogeography of human viruses

Molecular Ecology, 2003
AbstractViruses, especially those with RNA genomes, represent ideal organisms to study the dynamics of microevolutionary change. In particular, their rapid rate of nucleotide substitution means that the epidemiological processes that shape their diversity act on the same time‐scale as mutations are fixed in viral populations.

Statistical Phylogeography

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2009
Phylogeography's objective—to understand the processes underlying the spatial and temporal dimensions of genetic variation—underlies both the prominence and extensive methodological transformations that characterize this nascent field. Here I discuss the insights that come from detailed demographic information and how an understanding of ...
