Explanations for gene tree discordance with respect to a species tree are commonly attributed to deep coalescence (also known as incomplete lineage sorting [ILS]), as well as different evolutionary pr
Background: Determining the presence or absence of gene flow between populations is the target of some statistical methods in population genetics. Until recently, these methods either avoided the use
Samples from the CMN collection. Subspecies assignments were based on Hall (1981) and Nowak (1995). The specimens CMNMA 18251 and CMNMA 21571 were labeled by the CMN mammal collection staff as putativ
We use coalescent simulations to investigate if DNA data sampled at present can provide enough information to distinguish between secondary contact following range expansion and a barrier to gene flow
