Incorporating molecular evolution into phylogenetic analysis, and a new compilation of conserved polymerase chain reaction primers for animal mitochondrial DNA (2006, methodology): “…data is useful because incongruence between nuclear and mitochondrial phylogenies can reveal important aspects of species histories such as introgression, hybridization, direct or indirect selection, and incomplete lineage sorting (reviewed by Funk & Omland 2003 and Ballard & Rand 2005).”
Holobionts as Units of Selection and a Model of Their Population Dynamics and Evolution (2018, neutral): “2004; Ballard and Rand 2005; Meiklejohn et al.”
Discordant mitochondrial and nuclear gene phylogenies in emydid turtles: implications for speciation and conservation (2010, neutral): “…alone (e.g. Hillis & Wilcox, 2005; Kozak et al., 2005; Hyman, Ho & Jermiin, 2007; Klicka, Burns & Spellman, 2007; Lemmon et al., 2007; Wilson, Schrodl & Halanych, 2009), despite various cautionary papers (e.g. Shaw, 2002; Ballard & Whitlock, 2004; Ballard & Rand, 2005; Rubinoff & Holland, 2005).”
Quantitative criteria for species delimitation (2010, background): “Even so, it is worth bearing in mind that the gene trees of sympatric or parapatric populations regularly fail to reflect species limits as a result of incomplete lineage sorting, or hybridization and selective introgression (Ballard & Rand 2005, Alström et al. 2008a, Irwin et al. 2009).”
Mitochondrial DNA as a marker of molecular diversity: a reappraisal (2009, background): “The reasons most often invoked to justify this choice, however, are more fundamental (Ballard & Whitlock 2004; Ballard & Rand 2005).”
Phylogeography: its development and impact in Australo-Papuan ornithology with special reference to paraphyly in Australian birds (2009, background): “Reliance on mtDNA alone has limitations (e.g. Rand 2001; Ballard and Rand 2005).”
A mitochondrial genome phylogeny of Diptera: whole genome sequence data accurately resolve relationships over broad timescales with high precision (2007, background): “This is to be expected, as recombination is supposedly rare within mt genomes, the mt genes are evolving as a linked unit and any particular gene is unlikely to have an evolutionary history entirely at odds from the rest of the genome (Ballard & Rand, 2005).”
Footprints on water: the genetic wake of dispersal among reefs (2007, methodology): “First, using a single locus to infer population history entails the possibility that selection (Ballard and Rand 2005) or other forces acting on this marker (including stochasticity necessarily associated with coalescent processes, Hudson and Turelli 2003) may mislead and the certainty that…”
The biogeography of mitochondrial and nuclear discordance in animals (2012, background): “…of studies have identified intra- and interspecific variation in the proteins encoded by genes in the mitochondrial genome that authors have attributed to natural selection (Bazin et al. 2006; Meiklejohn et al. 2007; Edwards 2009; Ballard & Rand 2005; Ballard & Melvin 2010; Scott et al. 2011).”
