Comparing phylogeographic hypotheses by simulating DNA sequences under a spatially explicit model of coalescence.

Abstract excerpt

Computer simulations of genetic data are increasingly used to investigate the impact of complex historical scenarios on patterns of genetic variation. Yet, in most empirical studies, relatively large portions of species ranges are often treated as panmictic populations, ignoring the underlying spatial context. In some cases, however, a more accurate spatial model is required. We use a spatially explicit model of...
