Department of Zoology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
Int J Parasitol 32:527-31. 2002..On the other hand, internal transcribed spacer remains an excellent tool for DNA diagnostics (quickly distinguishing between known species) owing to its lower level of intraspecific polymorphism... - A comparison between mitochondrial DNA and the ribosomal internal transcribed regions in prospecting for cryptic species of platyhelminth parasitesR Vilas
Department of Zoology, Oregon State University, 3029 Cordley Hall, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
Parasitology 131:839-46. 2005..Although potential limitations of mtDNA are also recognized, the higher rate of evolution and smaller effective population size of this marker increases the probability of detecting diagnostic characters between cryptic species... - Identification of symbiotic bacteria (Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus) from the entomopathogenic nematodes Heterorhabditis marelatus and Steinernema oregonense based on 16S rDNA sequenceJ Liu

Oregon State University, Department of Zoology, 3029 Cordley Hall, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
Mol Ecol 13:271-6. 2004..This study shows that a common conservation strategy for rescuing genetically depauperate populations, artificial gene flow, may often be unwarranted and detrimental to evolutionarily important peripheral populations... - Evolutionary history of the northern leopard frog: reconstruction of phylogeny, phylogeography, and historical changes in population demography from mitochondrial DNAEric A Hoffman
Oregon State University, Department of Zoology, 3029 Cordley Hall, Corvallis, Oregon 97331, USA

Department of Zoology, Oregon State University, 3029 Cordley Hall, Corvallis, Oregon 97331, USA
Evolution 58:198-202. 2004..Thus, we propose that knowledge of parasite life cycles will help predict important evolutionary processes such as speciation, coevolution, and the spread of drug resistance... - Molecular ecology of parasites: elucidating ecological and microevolutionary processesCharles D Criscione
