Molecular ecology of marine turtles: New approaches and future directions (2008, background): “There is a good review of the marker (Zhang and Hewitt, 2003) Microsatellites Tandem repeats of a 1–6 bp ‘core’ sequence.”
Microsatellites for ecologists: a practical guide to using and evaluating microsatellite markers. (2006, background): “Sequencing technology has advanced rapidly, but its cost still prohibits the duplication or triplication of workload by using multiple independent gene sequences in parallel (Zhang & Hewitt 2003).”
DNA molecular markers in plant breeding: current status and recent advancements in genomic selection and genome editing (2018, background): “mtDNA markers exhibit many limitations like the fact that they represent only a single locus; uncertainty in genealogical analysis can be increased due to increased probability of missing links in mitochondrial haplotypes and underestimation of genetic diversity [39].”
The Iberian contribution to cryptic diversity in European bats (2006, background): “Due to these possible drawbacks, a cross-validation with independent nuclear markers is highly recommended (Zhang and Hewitt, 2003).”
Fish Population Genetics and Molecular Markers: II- Molecular Markers and Their Applications in Fisheries and Aquaculture (2003, background): “The recent demonstration of the presence of mitochondrial pseudogenes in the nuclear genome of a wide range of organisms is, for population studies, an unwanted reality (Zhang and Hewitt, 2003).”
GENETIC ISOLATION BY ENVIRONMENT OR DISTANCE: WHICH PATTERN OF GENE FLOW IS MOST COMMON? (2014, background): “Other markers such as allozymes are more likely to be under selection and could therefore be expected to reflect IBE patterns more often (e.g., Zhang and Hewitt 2003).”
Comparing patterns of nuclear and mitochondrial divergence in a cryptic species complex: the case of Iberian and North African wall lizards (Podarcis, Lacertidae) (2007, background): “…that the achievement of monophyly is largely dependent on stochasticity (Hudson & Turelli, 2003) and by the acknowledgement of the limitations of the use of a single locus to infer evolutionary relationships (Pamilo & Nei, 1988; Zhang & Hewitt, 2003; for a review, see Ballard & Whitlock, 2004).”
Microsatellites and their genomic distribution, evolution, function and applications : A review with special reference to fish genetics (2006, background): “Conservation strategies depend on neither paternal nor maternal variation, but focus on using biparental polymorphism of nuclear DNA to reflect characteristics needed to cope with environmental conditions (Zhang and Hewitt, 2003).”
Delimiting species: a Renaissance issue in systematic biology (2003, background): “requires multiple unlinked genetic markers, which are often not available for some taxa [55, 56 ].”
Incorporating molecular evolution into phylogenetic analysis, and a new compilation of conserved polymerase chain reaction primers for animal mitochondrial DNA (2006, background): “Nuclear introns, although faster than nuclear coding regions, are still slower than mtDNA (Zhang & Hewitt 2003).”
INVITED REVIEW: What is a population? An empirical evaluation of some genetic methods for identifying the number of gene pools and their degree of connectivity (2006, background): “…of highly polymorphic markers like microsatellites (Estoup & Angers 1998; µ = 5 × 10−4; 10 allelic states), the other representative of low-mutation rate markers like allozymes or singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (Zhang & Hewitt 2003; Morin et al. 2004; µ = 5 × 10−7, 4 allelic states).”
OPERATIONAL CRITERIA FOR DELIMITING SPECIES (2004, background): “The exclusivity criterion test requires sequences of unlinked gene regions that may not be available for many taxa, although this is changing (Hare 2001, Zhang & Hewitt 2003).”
Evolutionary conservation and versatility of a new set of primers for amplifying the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer regions in insects and other invertebrates (2003, background): “The estimated average number of segregating sites per nucleotide site ( θ ) is 0.00623 [with the polymorphicity Pm (Zhang & Hewitt 2003) being 1.143%], which is a rather high value for nuclear DNA sequences (Zhang & Hewitt 2003).”
When cryptic diversity blurs the picture: a cautionary tale from Iberian and North African Podarcis wall lizards (2011, background): “…the present analyses are based on a single genetic marker, potentially suffering from the limitations that are associated with such an approach (Zhang & Hewitt, 2003; Galtier et al., 2009), the extensive background information previously obtained for this particular system (i.e. general…”
