    Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA
    Mol Ecol 15:4645-57. 2006
    ..These patterns support the hypothesis that rapid evolutionary change occurs largely through regulatory rather than structural mutations...

    Justen B Whittall
    Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106, USA
    Nature 447:706-9. 2007
    ..These findings show that evolution may proceed in predictable pathways without reversals and that change may be concentrated during speciation...

    Kathleen M Kay
    Department of Plant Biology, Michigan State University, 166 Plant Biology Building, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA
    BMC Evol Biol 6:36. 2006
    ..Here, we systematically review the literature to assess substitution rate variation in nrITS among angiosperms, and we evaluate possible correlates of the variation...

    Dena L Grossenbacher
    Department of Evolution and Ecology, University of California, Davis, California 95616, USA
    Evolution 65:2712-8. 2011
    ..Potential mechanisms underlying this pattern include reinforcement and a stepping stone model of parapatric speciation...

    Mol Phylogenet Evol 39:124-34. 2006
    ..Overall, this method provides an efficient means of isolating predominantly single-copy loci from both low and high-copy gene families, providing ample nuclear variation for reconstructing species-level phylogenies in non-model taxa...

    ..Finally, endemics were younger on average than nonendemics, but this alone does not explain their low diversification...
