• Hard and soft allopatry: physically and ecologically mediated modes of geographic speciation (2010, background): “In the case of physical inhibition, where dispersal is limited by a discrete geographic feature (e.g. Burbrink et al., 2000; Steeves et al., 2005), the effects of climate on the distribution of the broader population may be immaterial (but see Jackson & Ausin, 2009).”

• Molecular systematics of racers, whipsnakes and relatives (Reptilia: Colubridae) using mitochondrial and nuclear markers (2004, methodology): “PCR Preps Purification System (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) according to manufacturer’s instructions, cycle sequencing was performed as in Burbrink et al. (2000) and sequences were determined using either the ABI Prism Genetic Analyzer model 3100 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) or the ALF”
• Species Delimitation in Herpetology (2019, background): “Unfortunately, the deep divergences of mtDNA gene trees within many species of reptiles and amphibians (e.g., Burbrink et al., 2000; Zamudio and Savage, 2003; Baird et al., 2006; Ruane et al, 2014), as well as the propensity of mtDNA to introgress across species boundaries, severely limits its use…”
• Evolution and phylogeny of the genus Natrix (Serpentes: Colubridae) (2006, background): “The signal for termination of translation in cyt b and ND1 was a terminal T which is post-transcriptionally adenylated to form a functional stop codon (TAA) in all taxa, a common mechanism in snakes (Burbrink et al., 2000; Nagy et al., 2004).”
• Molecular Systematics and Phylogeny of Old and New World Ratsnakes, Elaphe Auct., and Related Genera (Reptilia, Squamata, Colubridae) (2002, background): “Especially for snakes with their highly reduced, functional, and conservative anat- omy, this technique has proved useful to reveal the phylogenetic relationships of formerly inextricable species assemblages (e.g., Knight and Mindell, 1993; Burbrink et al., 2000).”
