Colonization of the Philippines from Taiwan: a multilocus test of the biogeographic and phylogenetic relationships of isolated populations of shrews

چکیده
The Philippine archipelago represents a potential model system for understanding the effects of various geological, climatic and geographic variables on the diversification trajectories of lineages. Despite this potential, basic features of the evolutionary history of most regional clades, such as the number of times the archipelago was colonized and when and Biodiversity Institute and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, 1345 Jayhawk Blvd, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA

Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of Magnaporthe spp. strains on Various Hosts in Iran
Background: Populations of Magnaporthe, the causal agent of rice blast disease, are pathotypically and genetically diverse and therefore their interaction with different rice cultivars and also antagonistic microorganisms are very complicated. Objectives: The objectives of the present study were to characterize phylogenetic relationships of 114 native Magnaporthe strains, isolated from rice a...
متن کاملAssessment of Genetic Structure and Variation of Native Berberis Populations of Khorasan Provinces (Iran) Using AFLP Markers Versus Morphological Markers
Seedless barberry (Berberis vulgaris L. var. asperma) is one of the few crops that is only cultivated in eastern parts of Iran. As a new crop there has not been any study to identify phylogenetic relationships of this plant with other related species existing in Iran. In this study, Amplification fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers based on four selected primer combinations (EcoRI/Tru1I...
متن کاملGenetic Similarities Among Iranian Populations of Festuca, Lolium, Bromus and Agropyron Using Amplified Fragments Length Polymorphism (AFLP) Markers
The study of genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships is essential for the efficient selection of superior plant material and conducting introgression breeding programs. In Iran, despite the wide geographical distribution of grasses no report is available on the genetic diversity and relationships of cool season grass populations. In this study amplified fragment length polymorphism (AF...
متن کاملEvolutionary history of subspecies of Eurasian nuthatches (Sitta europaea persica) from Zagros Mountains, Iran
Abstract. Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea), with 18 subspecies, has a wide distribution in deciduous forests of Eurasia. The subspecies S.e.persica is a resident bird in the Zagros Mountains, from north-west to south-west of Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of this subspecies to European, Asian, as well as Caucasian clades. For this purp...
متن کاملSpecies Interactions during Diversification and Community Assembly in an Island Radiation of Shrews
BACKGROUND Closely related, ecologically similar species often have adjacent distributions, suggesting competitive exclusion may contribute to the structure of some natural communities. In systems such as island archipelagos, where speciation is often tightly associated with dispersal over oceanic barriers, competitive exclusion may prevent population establishment following inter-island disper...
