Multi-rate Poisson tree processes for single-locus species delimitation under maximum likelihood and Markov chain Monte Carlo (2016, background): “The divergence of intraspecific diversity patterns may either be due to population traits and processes (Bazin et al. , 2006) or the uneven sampling of the species (e.g., a highly sampled species from a single location compared to a species represented by one sample from multiple locations).”
Phylogeography and conservation of the bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) inferred from mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA (2011, result): “Although, it is always possible that the mtDNA of the bull shark has experienced a recent selective sweep or strong background selection (Bazin et al. 2006), we have no data to support or refute this conclusion.”
Species richness and evolutionary speed: the influence of temperature, water and area (2014, background): “Greater genetic diversity is found in species with larger populations (e.g. Bazin et al., 2006; Hughes, 2010), suggesting that the potential for incipient speciation is also greater in species with larger populations.”
Recent advances in DNA taxonomy (2007, background): “Frequent selective sweeps acting on mtDNA appear to increase the depth of subdivision and ease of recognition further ( Bazin et al. 2006 ).”
Accelerated species inventory on Madagascar using coalescent-based models of species delineation. (2009, background): “The lack of a departure from neutrality in all species studied suggested that no bottlenecks or selective sweeps (see Bazin et al. 2006) had an effect on the patterns of variation in mtDNA.”
DNA barcodes of fish of the Scotia Sea, Antarctica indicate priority groups for taxonomic and systematics focus (2008, background): “We would expect that the integration of classical approaches with DNA barcoding will empirically address hypotheses of cryptic speciation and contribute to broader studies of molecular evolutionary theory (Bazin et al. 2006).”
Mitochondrial phylogeography, contact zones and taxonomy of grass snakes (Natrix natrix, N. megalocephala) (2013, background): “It has been repeatedly argued that mtDNA sequences alone are by far no perfect proxy for phylogeography and taxonomic differentiation, among others due to their strictly maternal inheritance, the lack of recombination, their reduced effective population size and resulting bias caused by genetic drif”
Amphi-Atlantic cold-seep Bathymodiolus species complexes across the equatorial belt (2007, methodology): “…relationships between bathymodiolin mussels cannot be restricted to the mitochondrial genome as it is very often subjected to selective sweeps (Bazin et al., 2006) and thus prone to adaptive radiation, the validity of species complexes has also been assessed using a nuclear marker that…”
Footprints on water: the genetic wake of dispersal among reefs (2007, background): “Aside from side stepping problems with selection on allozymes (although see Ballard and Rand 2005; Bazin et al. 2006; but also Berry 2006; Wares et al. 2006), mtDNA also promised greater sensitivity to reduced gene Xow between populations due to its smaller eVective population size (Birky et al.…”
Cryptic species diversity in a widespread bumble bee complex revealed using mitochondrial DNA RFLPs (2008, background): “Reciprocal monophyly also indicates that any shared ancestral polymorphisms have been lost, either as a consequence of stochastic lineage pruning or selective sweeps (Bazin et al. 2006).”
Mitochondrial introgression and replacement between yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella) and pine buntings (Emberiza leucocephalos) (Aves: Passeriformes) (2009, background): “It is increasingly recognised that mitochondrial DNA could often be under selection, challenging the assumption of neutrality that is common to many analytical methods used in studies of phylogeography, speciation, and conservation genetics (Ballard & Whitlock, 2004; Bazin et al., 2006; Dowling et a”
Mitochondrial DNA as a marker of molecular diversity: a reappraisal (2009, methodology): “No direct evidence for adaptive evolution was detected from McDonald–Kreitman tests, in agreement with Weinreich & Rand (2000), suggesting that mammals could be immune from the genetic draft effect invoked by Bazin et al. (2006).”
Mitochondrial DNA under siege in avian phylogeography (2008, background): “Recent reviews (Ballard & Whitlock 2004; Edwards et al. 2005; Bazin et al. 2006) have renewed concerns over studies that are based solely on mtDNA.”
A phylogeographical analysis across three biogeographical provinces of the south‐eastern Pacific: the case of the marine gastropod Concholepas concholepas (2009, background): “However, Bazin et al. (2006) recently argued that the use of mtDNA could be questionable for phylogeographical analyses of invertebrates because of possible selection effects due to the non-recombinant nature of the mitochondrial genome.”
