Phylogeography by diffusion on a sphere: whole world phylogeography
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 many applications. However, these methods rely on diffusion processes on a plane, and do not take the spherical nature of our planet in accoun...

Techniques for reconstructing geographical history along a phylogeny can answer many interesting question about the geographical origins of species. Bayesian models based on the assumption that taxa move through a diffusion process have found many applications. However, these methods rely on diffusion processes on a plane, and do not take the spherical nature of our planet in account. This make...
متن کاملPhylogeography
In the subsequent 20 years as the garden’s director, Maiden seized every opportunity to improve the herbarium. Even internationally destructive events such as World War I provided unexpected additions: one soldier alone donated 300 specimens from Palestine. And a further parcel from Kew revealed 58 acacia and 23 eucalypt specimens collected between 1816 and 1839. Maiden was also occupied by sev...
متن کاملStatistical phylogeography.
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. Methods for parameter estimation are now commonly u...
متن کاملA molecular phylogeography approach to biological invasions of the New World by parthenogenetic Thiarid snails.
The parthenogenetic snail Melanoides tuberculata, present in tropical fresh waters of most of the Old World before 1950, has now invaded the Neotropical area. The phylogeography of this snail was studied to evaluate the pathways and number of such invasions. Because of parthenogenetic reproduction, individuals are structured into genetical clones. Within populations from both the original and i...
