isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers useful for exploring introgression among species in the diverse new zealand cicada genus kikihia.the new zealand cicada genus kikihia dugdale 1971 exhibits more than 20 contact zones between species pairs that vary widely in their divergence times (between 20,000 and 2 million years) in which some level of hybridization is evident. mitochondrial phylogenies suggest some movement of genes across species boundaries. biparentally inherited and quickly evolving molecular markers like microsatellites are useful for assessing gene flow levels. here, we present six polymorphic microsatellite loci ...201525843582
hybridization, mitochondrial dna phylogeography, and prediction of the early stages of reproductive isolation: lessons from new zealand cicadas (genus kikihia).one of the major tenets of the modern synthesis is that genetic differentiation among subpopulations is translated over time into genetic differentiation among species. phylogeographic exploration is therefore essential to the study of speciation because it can reveal the presence of subpopulations that may go on to become species or that may already represent cryptic species. acoustic species-specific mating signals provide a significant advantage for the recognition of cryptic or incipient spe ...201121471306
