    Dietrich Gotzek
    Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
    PLoS ONE 4:e7713. 2009
    ..Our analyses lead us to conclude that there are no new reasons to question the existing consensus view of the Gp-9 system outlined in Gotzek and Ross (2007)...
  2. ncbi Mitochondrial genome evolution in fire ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
    Dietrich Gotzek
    Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Lausanne, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland
    BMC Evol Biol 10:300. 2010
    ..Despite the rapid increase in available mitogenomes, the taxonomic sampling often poorly reflects phylogenetic diversity and is often also biased to represent deeper (family-level) evolutionary relationships...

    Dietrich Gotzek
    Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
    PLoS ONE 6:e16289. 2011
    ..As previously suggested, our results underscore the importance for careful exploration of the sensitivity to the effects of alignment methods for data comprising widely divergent sequences...
