(2017-05-24)Recent molecular phylogenies have suggested that hawks (Accipitridae) and falcons (Falconidae) form 2 distantly related groups within birds. Avian feather lice have often been used as a model for comparing host and parasite ...

(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Microsatellites are repetitive DNA characterized by tandem repeats of short motifs (2 â 5 bp). High mutation rates make them ideal for population level studies. Microsatellite allele genesis is generally attributed ...

(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)This dissertation has two major sections. In Chapter II, complete mitochondrial (mt DNA) genome sequences were used to construct a hypothesis for affinities of most major lineages of rodents that arose quickly in the Eocene ...

(2015-07-28)The inference of species divergence time is a key step in the study of phylogenetics. Methods have been available for the last ten years to perform the inference, but, there are two significant problems with these methods. ...
