• A molecular study of the tardigrade Echiniscus testudo (Echiniscidae) reveals low DNA sequence diversity over a large geographical area (2007, background): “However, recent investigations indicate that at least the parthenogenetic bdelloid rotifers have undergone substantial speciation ( Birky et al. 2005 ).”
• The Dynamic Nature of Apomixis in the Angiosperms (2008, background): “…is perhaps the route taken by bdelloid rotifers because analyses of sequence data suggest that dispersal rates are high, genetic diversity levels are similar to those of sexual populations, and the ability to respond to selection is similar to that of sexual monogonont rotifers (Birky et al. 2005).”
• Diversity and endemism in Rotifera: a review, and Keratella Bory de St Vincent (2008, background): “Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial cox1 genes by Birky et al. (2005) showed a significant correlation between geographical distance and sequence difference, but with indication of rapid dispersal.”
