Contemporary gene flow and weak genetic structuring in Rococo toad (Rhinella schneideri) populations in habitats fragmented by agricultural activities
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2011-01-01)
The reduced vagility and philopatric behaviour of most amphibians make them especially vulnerable to the effects of habitat fragmentation, in particular the loss of genetic variation. However, almost no data are available ...

Contrasting Patterns of Population History and Seed-mediated Gene Flow in Two Endemic Costa Rican Oak Species
(2018)
Lower Central America is an important area to study recent population history and diversification of Neotropical species due to its complex and dynamic geology and climate. Phylogeographic studies in this region are few ...
Historical allopatry and secondary contact or primary intergradation in the Puerto Rican crested anole, Anolis cristatellus, on Vieques Island in the CaribbeanAlopatría histórica y contacto secundario o intergradación primaria en el ánulo coronado puertorriqueño, Anolis cristatellus, en la isla de Vieques en el Caribe

Global phylogeography of sailfish: deep evolutionary lineages with implications for fisheries management
(2021-01-01)
Since the Miocene profound climatic changes have influenced the biology and ecology of species worldwide, such as their connectivity, genetic population structure, and biogeography. The goal herein is to evaluate the ...
Genetic structure of the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03)
In the present study, we analysed the genetic structure of Triatoma infestans populations with a phylogeographical approach using sequences of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (ND5) and the nuclear elongation ...
Rapid diversification of the Variable Seedeater superspecies complex despite widespread gene flow
(2022)
Disentangling the evolutionary relationships of rapidly radiating clades is often challenging because of low genetic differentiation and potentially high levels of gene flow among diverging taxa. The genus Sporophila ...
Patterns of Z chromosome divergence among Heliconius species highlight the importance of historical demography
(2018)
Sex chromosomes are disproportionately involved in reproductive isolation and adaptation. In support of such a “large-X” effect, genome scans between recently diverged populations and species pairs often identify distinct ...
Ancient female philopatry, asymmetric male gene flow, and synchronous population expansion support the influence of climatic oscillations on the evolution of South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens)
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
The South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) is widely distributed along the southern Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America with a history of significant commercial exploitation. We aimed to evaluate the population ...
Gene flow networks among American Aedes aegypti populations
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-11-01)
The mosquito Aedes aegypti, the dengue virus vector, has spread throughout the tropics in historical times. While this suggests man-mediated dispersal, estimating contemporary connectivity among populations has remained ...
