Genetic diversity analysis and single-nucleotide polymorphism marker development in cultivated bulb onion based on expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat markers (2008)
Journal Article
McCallum, J., Thomson, S., Pither-Joyce, M., Kenel, F., Clarke, A., & Havey, M. J. (2008). Genetic diversity analysis and single-nucleotide polymorphism marker development in cultivated bulb onion based on expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat markers. Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 133(6), 810-818. https://doi.org/10.21273/jashs.133.6.810

Bulb onion (Allium cepa L.) is a globally significant crop, but the structure of genetic variation within and among populations is poorly understood. We broadly surveyed genetic variation in a cultivated onion germplasm using simple sequence repeat (...

Optimizing Automated AFLP Scoring Parameters to Improve Phylogenetic Resolution (2008)
Journal Article
Holland, B. R., Clarke, A. C., & Meudt, H. M. (2008). Optimizing Automated AFLP Scoring Parameters to Improve Phylogenetic Resolution. Systematic Biology, 57(3), 347-366. https://doi.org/10.1080/10635150802044037

The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique is an increasingly popular component of the phylogenetic toolbox, particularly for plant species. Technological advances in capillary electrophoresis now allow very precise estimates of DNA... Read More about Optimizing Automated AFLP Scoring Parameters to Improve Phylogenetic Resolution.

Distinct migratory and non-migratory ecotypes of an endemic New Zealand eleotrid (Gobiomorphus cotidianus) – implications for incipient speciation in island freshwater fish species (2008)
Journal Article
Michel, C., Hicks, B. J., Stölting, K. N., Clarke, A. C., Stevens, M. I., Tana, R., …van den Heuvel, M. R. (2008). Distinct migratory and non-migratory ecotypes of an endemic New Zealand eleotrid (Gobiomorphus cotidianus) – implications for incipient speciation in island freshwater fish species. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 8(1), Article 49. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2148-8-49

Background. Many postglacial lakes contain fish species with distinct ecomorphs. Similar evolutionary scenarios might be acting on evolutionarily young fish communities in lakes of remote islands. One process that drives diversification in island fre...
