DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2016.09.006
Abstract: Several biogeographic barriers in the Eastern Nearctic appear to reduce gene flow among populations of many species in predictable ways, however these patterns used to infer process of divergence may be deceiving if alternative modes… read more here.

Abstract: For polytypic mammal species, biogeographic barriers including rivers have often been used to delineate taxonomic units under the assumption that barriers have structured their distribution. We tested the importance of major riverine systems as biogeographic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syy070
Abstract: Abstract Phylogenies recurrently demonstrate that oceanic island systems have been home to rapid clade diversification and adaptive radiations. The existence of adaptive radiations posits a central role of natural selection causing ecological divergence and speciation,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15011
Abstract: Although eukaryotic microorganisms are extremely numerous, diverse and essential to global ecosystem functioning, they are largely understudied by evolutionary biologists compared to multicellular macroscopic organisms. In particular, very little is known about the speciation mechanisms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1010062
Abstract: The diversity of influenza A viruses (IAV) is primarily hosted by two highly divergent avian orders: Anseriformes (ducks, swans and geese) and Charadriiformes (gulls, terns and shorebirds). Studies of IAV have historically focused on Anseriformes,… read more here.
