Mitochondrial introgression and replacement between yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella) and pine buntings (Emberiza leucocephalos) (Aves: Passeriformes) (2009, background): “…Canada 2State Darwin Museum, Moscow 117292, Russia 3Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Moscow 117071, Russia Received 21 October 2008; accepted for publication 4 April 2009 In studies of phylogeography and taxonomy, strong emphasis is usually placed on the study of mitochondrial (mt)DNA.”
Evolutionary drivers of phylogeographical diversity in the highlands of Mexico: a case study of the Crotalus triseriatus species group of montane rattlesnakes (2011, background): “…approach has several limitations (Funk & Omland, 2003; Ballard & Whitlock, 2004) yet it is much more likely to detect geographical limits and cryptic species than studies based on nuclear DNA gene sequences (Moore, 1995; Hudson & Coyne, 2002; Zink & Barrowclough, 2008; Barrowclough & Zink, 2009).”
A case for incorporating phylogeography and landscape genetics into species distribution modelling approaches to improve climate adaptation and conservation planning (2010, background): “Such analyses generally focus on organellar variation but more recently nuclear-encoded variation has been used to examine timings of coalescence, gene flow and changes in population size across multiple loci (Edwards & Beerli, 2000; Zink & Barrowclough, 2008; Table 1).”
Funds enough, and time: mtDNA, nuDNA and the discovery of divergence (2009, background): “…University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN 55108, USA Received 11 March 2009; revision received 7 May 2009; accepted 11 May 2009 In a recent review (Zink & Barrowclough 2008, hereafter ZB08), we pointed out that elementary population genetics reveals that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a leading…”

Phylogeography: its development and impact in Australo-Papuan ornithology with special reference to paraphyly in Australian birds (2009, background): “In coalescent analyses the power to obtain more accurate estimates of population divergence time and to identify loci under selection comes with more independent loci (see Edwards and Beerli 2000; Akey et al. 2004; Zink and Barrowclough 2008).”
The Utility of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Data in Phylogenetics (2017, background): “Gene sequences with high variability and rapid coalescence times are well suited for this purpose (Zink & Barrowclough 2008).”
Woody Plant Diversity, Evolution, and Ecology in the Tropics: Perspectives from Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests (2009, background): “These phylogenies are often reconstructed using nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 5.8S DNA sequences, which may bias against finding monophyletic species because nuclear loci have longer expected times to coalescence than do plastid loci (e.g., Zink & Barrowclough 2008).”
IS A NEW AND GENERAL THEORY OF MOLECULAR SYSTEMATICS EMERGING? (2009, background): “Although such monophyly is often criticized as a useful criterion for recognizing species, particularly with mitochondrial DNA, such a criterion is nonetheless used quite regularly (Zink 2006; Zink and Barrowclough 2008).”
Late-Quaternary biogeographic scenarios for the brown bear (Ursus arctos), a wild mammal model species (2011, background): “Moreover, there is ongoing debate surrounding the reasons for observed discrepancies between mitochondrial and nuclear phylogeographic studies (Zink and Barrowclough, 2008; Barrowclough and Zink, 2009; Edwards and Bensch, 2009).”
Phylogeography of the introduced species Rattus rattus in the western Indian Ocean, with special emphasis on the colonization history of Madagascar (2010, neutral): “Nevertheless, our results require confirmation because they rely only on mitochondrial DNA, the use of which for phylogeography is under debate (Ballard & Whitlock, 2004; Zink & Barrowclough, 2008).”
Glacial survival and post‐glacial recolonization of an arctic–alpine freshwater insect (Arcynopteryx dichroa, Plecoptera, Perlodidae) in Europe (2013, background): “Another plausible explanation is female-biased dispersal, leading to a weaker genetic signal of the maternally inherited mtDNA (Zink & Barrowclough, 2008).”
Phylogeography unplugged: comparative surveys in the genomic era (2014, background): “…a review of more than 48 avian studies found phylogenetic estimates from mtDNA vs microsatellite markers were overwhelmingly comparable (Zink and Barrowclough 2008), and a recent review of nuclear-mitochondrial discordance in animals found a low level of incongruence (<18%: Toews and…”
The integrative future of taxonomy (2010, background): “Species that diverged in the distant past will have an increased probability of showing complete gene lineage sorting and reciprocal monophyly for many loci [56].”
