Mitochondrial introgression and replacement between yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella) and pine buntings (Emberiza leucocephalos) (Aves: Passeriformes) (2009, background): “Cases of partial introgression of heterospecific mtDNA has been observed in a variety of species (Rohwer, Bermingham & Wood, 2001; Weckstein et al., 2001; Good et al., 2003, 2008; Deffontaine et al., 2005; Melo-Ferreira et al., 2005; Plötner et al., 2008), although the case of the yellowhammer and…”
Species-Level Paraphyly and Polyphyly: Frequency, Causes, and Consequences, with Insights from Animal Mitochondrial DNA (2003, background): “The general disregard of nuclear copies of mtDNA as a possible explanation is especially concerning (but see Weckstein et al. 2001).”
DNA Barcoding: Promise and Pitfalls (2004, unknown): “These are acknowledged by Hebert et al. (2004) and well documented in the literature (Bensasson et al. 2001; Ballard and Whitlock 2004), including that on birds (Degnan 1993; Quinn and White 1987; Lovette and Bermingham 2001; Weckstein et al. 2001).”
