Abstract

Assess the role of geneflow in certain speciation events, by comparing presumed ancestral species to daughter species. Compare degree of divergence between species in coding and neutral sequence data, respectively, in order to assess influence of interactions between sympatric closely related species, compared to closely related non-sympatric species. Estimate large scale genom-based phylogenies with ASTER in atpw.
