    Lise J Wallis
    Department of Zoology, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand
    Mol Biol Evol 28:399-406. 2011
    ..We postulate that the strong Darwinian evolution exhibited by this protein may reflect some type of immunoprotection at this vulnerable larval stage...
  2. ncbi New Zealand phylogeography: evolution on a small continent
    Graham P Wallis
    Department of Zoology, University of Otago, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand
    Mol Ecol 18:3548-80. 2009
    ..Intriguingly, then, origins of the flora and fauna are island-like, whereas phylogeographic structure often reflects continental geological processes...
  3. ncbi Onset of glaciation drove simultaneous vicariant isolation of Alpine insects in New Zealand
    Graham A McCulloch
    Department of Zoology, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand
    Evolution 64:2033-43. 2010
    ..This study thus indicates an important cladogenetic role for glaciation, an abiotic evolutionary process that is more typically associated with loss of biodiversity...

    Graham A McCulloch
    Department of Zoology, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand
    Mol Ecol 18:4073-87. 2009
    ..This finding implies that Zelandoperla flight loss occurs independently of wing loss, and might reflect underlying flight muscle reduction...
  5. ncbi Gene trees versus species trees: reassessing life-history evolution in a freshwater fish radiation
    Jonathan M Waters
    Department of Zoology, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand
    Syst Biol 59:504-17. 2010
    ..We discuss factors that might explain the apparently misleading phylogenetic inferences generated by mtDNA...
  6. ncbi Geological dates and molecular rates: rapid divergence of rivers and their biotas
    Jonathan M Waters
    Department of Zoology, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand
    Syst Biol 56:271-82. 2007
    ..We recommend that--wherever possible--biologists should start to reassess the conclusions of such studies by using more appropriate molecular calibrations derived from recent geological events...
  7. ncbi Heterozygosity-fitness correlations and their relevance to studies on inbreeding depression in threatened species
    Catherine E Grueber
    Department of Zoology, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand
    Mol Ecol 17:3978-84. 2008
    ..The study of HFCs in outbred populations is of interest in itself, but the results may not translate directly to threatened populations that have undergone severe bottlenecks...

    Mary Morgan-Richards
    Department of Zoology, University of Otago, P O Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand
    Evolution 57:849-61. 2003
    ..It appears that, even within a single species, the extent of karyotypic differentiation between pairs of races is not a good predictor of the level of disadvantage suffered by hybrids...

    Conserv Biol 20:38-47. 2006
    ..g., preventing reinvasion of islands by mammalian predators) will continue to receive high priority in New Zealand because of their much larger impacts, we advocate that genetic considerations be better integrated into recovery plans...
