Nuclear sequence data were collected from endemic Galápagos species and an introduced close relative, and contrasted with mitochondrial DNA sequences, continuing investigation into the colonization history and modes of diversification in the weevil genus Galapaganus. The current combined phylogeny together with previously published penalized likelihood age estimates builds a complex picture of the archipelago's...
