… computes the probability of the gene trees given the species tree for all hierarchical permutations
of lineage grouping, and therefore, complex cases such as that described by Carstens …

Approximately 20 years ago, Avise and colleagues proposed the integration of
phylogenetics and population genetics for investigating the connection between micro- and …

This is a time of unprecedented transition in DNA sequencing technologies. Next-generation
sequencing (NGS) clearly holds promise for fast and cost-effective generation of multilocus …

… of N e and T, a range of parameter space that spans the confidence intervals surrounding
estimates of these critical population-genetic parameters can be examined (see Carstens and …

STEM is a software package written in the C language to obtain maximum likelihood (ML)
estimates for phylogenetic species trees given a sample of gene trees under the coalescent …

Background Species are considered the fundamental unit in many ecological and evolutionary
analyses, yet accurate, complete, accessible taxonomic frameworks with which to identify …

… Maximum likelihood estimates of phylogeny, redrawn from Carstens et al. (2005b) for
four PNW mesic forest organismal … For details of the phylogenies, see Carstens et al. (2005b). …

Climate refugia, locations where taxa survive periods of regionally adverse climate, are thought
to be critical for maintaining biodiversity through the glacial–interglacial climate changes …

Estimating phylogenetic relationships among closely related species can be extremely
difficult when there is incongruence among gene trees and between the gene trees and the …

Statistical phylogeographic studies contribute to our understanding of the factors that
influence population divergence and speciation, and that ultimately generate biogeographical …
