MSBAYES: PIPELINE FOR TESTING COMPARATIVE PHYLOGEOGRAPHIC HISTORIES USING HIERARCHICAL APPROXIMATE BAYESIAN COMPUTATION

msBayes: Pipeline for testing comparative phylogeographic histories using hierarchical approximate Bayesian computation

Abstract Background Although testing click here for simultaneous divergence (vicariance) across different population-pairs that span the same barrier to gene flow is of central importance to evolutionary biology, researchers often equate the gene tree and population/species tree thereby ignoring stochastic coalescent variance in their conclusions o

Sounds of the northern Andes: the calls of a diverse and endangered frog community (Amphibia, Anura) from Ecuador

The emission of calls is one click here of the most distinctive and important reproductive traits in anurans.Given the biological significance of vocalizations, this trait is also useful for identification proposes and is key in recognizing cryptic diversity.However, the majority of the calls from tropical ecosystems, especially in the high Andean

Two new varieties of Agapetes (Ericaceae) from Xizang, China

Two new varieties from Xizang, China, click here i.e.Agapetes interdicta var.flaviflora and A.forrestii var.parvifolia, are described and illustrated.Agapetes interdicta var.flaviflora differs from the nominate variety in having yellow and smaller corollas with shorter lobes and anthers with shorter appendages at the base.Agapetes forrestii var.par
