phylogeografia
Phylogeography is a field of study that analyzes the geographic distribution of genetic lineages within a species or closely related species. It seeks to understand how evolutionary processes like mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection have shaped the patterns of genetic variation observed across different populations. By examining genetic markers, such as DNA sequences from mitochondria or the nucleus, phylogeographers can reconstruct the historical demographic movements and population structures of organisms.
The core idea of phylogeography is to link genetic divergence with geographic separation. When populations become
Key techniques in phylogeography involve the use of phylogenetic trees, which depict the evolutionary relationships among
