Phylogeography
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 کاملPhylogeography 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...
متن کاملPhylogeography: retrospect and prospect
Phylogeography is a relatively new discipline that deals with the spatial arrangements of genetic lineages, especially within and among closely related species. The word phylogeography was coined in 1987 (Avise et al., 1987). About a decade earlier, scientists had begun using mitochondrial (mt) DNA to address precisely how conspecific individuals are genealogically linked through shared ancesto...
متن کاملCaribbean placozoan phylogeography.
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. Placozoans were recovered in every country sampled. Animals were sequenced at the mitochondrial...
