Abstract excerpt
Nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) constitutes a multicopy gene family that is used widely to test evolutionary hypotheses across a broad range of organisms. It is presumed that, as a result of concerted evolution, tandem nrDNA repeats are homogeneous within species and different between species. We sampled 77 specimens of a disjunct species (Carapichea ipecacuanha) from throughout its three geographic ranges and...
