A peninsula as an island: multiple forms of evidence for overwater colonization of Baja California by the gartersnake Thamnophis validus

2008-10-01

Abstract excerpt

The recent shift toward dispersal rather than vicariant explanations of disjunct distributions has been driven by the use of molecular data to estimate divergence dates between lineages. However, other kinds of evidence can also be critical in evaluating such biogeographic hypotheses. In the present study, we used a multifaceted approach employing diverse analyses of mitochondrial DNA sequences to assess explanati...
