adding more ecology into species delimitation: ecological niche models and phylogeography help define cryptic species in the black salamander (aneides flavipunctatus).	being able to efficiently and accurately delimit species is one of the most basic and important aspects of systematics because species are the fundamental unit of analysis in biogeography, ecology, and conservation. we present a rationale and approach for combining ecological niche modeling, spatially explicit analyses of environmental data, and phylogenetics in species delimitation, and we use our methodology in an empirical example focusing on aneides flavipunctatus, the black salamander (caud ...	2007	18066928
defining evolutionary boundaries across parapatric ecomorphs of black salamanders (aneides flavipunctatus) with conservation implications.	the accurate delimitation of evolutionary population units represents an important component in phylogeographic and conservation genetic studies. here, we used a combined population assignment and historical demographic approach to study a complex of ecomorphologically distinctive populations of black salamanders (aneides flavipunctatus) that are parapatrically distributed and meet at a three-way contact zone in north-western california. we used mitochondrial tree-based and multilocus clustering ...	2012	23094781
