Abstract excerpt
Identification of paralogy in candidate nuclear loci is an important prerequisite in phylogenetics and statistical phylogeography, but one that is often overlooked. One marker commonly assumed to be a single-copy gene and claimed to harbor great utility for inferring recent divergences is elongation factor-1α (EF-1α). To test this hypothesis, we systematically cloned EF-1α in three disjunct populations of the...
