Identifying cryptic diversity with predictive phylogeography.
Identifying units of biological diversity is a major goal of organismal biology. An increasing literature has focused on the importance of cryptic diversity, defined as the presence of deeply diverged lineages within a single species. While most discoveries of cryptic lineages proceed on a taxon-by-taxon basis, rapid assessments of biodiversity are needed to inform conservation policy and decis...
متن کاملPhylogeography of a marine acanthocephalan: lack of cryptic diversity in a cosmopolitan parasite of mole crabs
Aim Little is known about phylogeography and cryptic diversity of parasites in the marine environment. The acanthocephalan Profilicollis altmani parasitizes intermediate hosts that are broadly distributed around the Americas and final hosts that are highly motile. We investigated the spatial genetic structure of this acanthocephalan found in three species of Emerita crabs: (1) to test whether l...
متن کاملSpecies Delimitation and Phylogeography of Aphonopelma hentzi (Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Theraphosidae): Cryptic Diversity in North American Tarantulas
BACKGROUND The primary objective of this study is to reconstruct the phylogeny of the hentzi species group and sister species in the North American tarantula genus, Aphonopelma, using a set of mitochondrial DNA markers that include the animal "barcoding gene". An mtDNA genealogy is used to consider questions regarding species boundary delimitation and to evaluate timing of divergence to infer h...
متن کاملHuman phylogeography and diversity.
Homo sapiens phylogeography begins with the species' origin nearly 200 kya in Africa. First signs of the species outside Africa (in Arabia) are from 125 kya. Earliest dates elsewhere are now 100 kya in China, 45 kya in Australia and southern Europe (maybe even 60 kya in Australia), 32 kya in northeast Siberia, and maybe 20 kya in the Americas. Humans reached arctic regions and oceanic islands l...
متن کاملIdentifying SPAM with Predictive Models
The ECML-PKDD 2006 Discovery Challenge posed a topical problem for predictive modelers: how to separate SPAM from non-SPAM email using classic word count descriptions of email messages. The data for the challenge were released around March 1, 2006 and submissions were due June 7, 2006, allowing entrants to devote as much as three months to preparing and modeling the data. We devoted two calenda...
