| assessment of genetic diversity in chinese eared pheasant using fluorescent-aflp markers. | the eared pheasant consists of four species: white eared pheasant (crossoptilon crossoptilon), tibetan eared pheasant (crossoptilon harmani), blue eared pheasant (crossoptilon auritum), and brown eared pheasant (crossoptilon mantchuricum). these species are found only in china, and are also on the list of the world's threatened species. in this paper, 74 individuals from the four eared pheasant species were assessed for population genetic diversity by means of fluorescent-aflp markers. a total o ... | 2010 | 20595068 |
| glaciation-based isolation contributed to speciation in a palearctic alpine biodiversity hotspot: evidence from endemic species. | organisms are unevenly distributed on earth and the evolutionary drivers of that have puzzled ecologists and evolutionary biologists for over a century. even though many studies have focused on the mechanisms of unevenly distributed fauna and flora, there remains much to learn about the evolutionary drivers behind biodiversity hotspots. in the tibetan plateau and hengduan mountains, a biodiversity hotspot in the palearctic realm, alpine uplift cannot be the driver for recent speciation (<two mil ... | 2018 | 30218774 |
