Herman, J., McDevitt, A., Kawałko, A., Jaarola, M., Wójcik, J., & Searle, J. (2014). Land-bridge calibration of molecular clocks and the post-glacial colonization of Scandinavia by the Eurasian field vole microtus agrestis. PLoS ONE, 9(8), e103949. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0103949

Phylogeography interprets molecular genetic variation in a spatial and temporal context. Molecular clocks are frequently
used to calibrate phylogeographic analyses, however there is mounting evidence that molecular rates decay over the
relevant tim... Read More about Land-bridge calibration of molecular clocks and the post-glacial colonization of Scandinavia by the Eurasian field vole microtus agrestis.

Invading and expanding : range dynamics and ecological consequences of the Greater White-Toothed Shrew (Crocidura russula) invasion in Ireland (2014)
Journal Article

Establishing how invasive species impact upon pre-existing species is a fundamental question in ecology and conservation
biology. The greater white-toothed shrew (Crocidura russula) is an invasive species in Ireland that was first recorded in 2007... Read More about Invading and expanding : range dynamics and ecological consequences of the Greater White-Toothed Shrew (Crocidura russula) invasion in Ireland.

Revisiting the phylogeography and demography of European badgers (Meles meles) based on broad sampling, multiple markers and simulations (2014)
Journal Article

Although the phylogeography of European mammals has been extensively investigated since the 1990s, many studies were limited in terms of sampling distribution, the number of molecular markers used and the analytical techniques employed, frequently le...

The influence of habitat structure on genetic differentiation in red fox populations in north-eastern Poland (2014)
Journal Article
Mullins, J., McDevitt, A., Kowalczyk, R., Ruczyńska, I., Górny, M., & Wójcik, J. (2014). The influence of habitat structure on genetic differentiation in red fox populations in north-eastern Poland. Acta theriologica / Polska Akademia Nauk, Instytut Zoologiczny, 59(3), 367-376. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13364-014-0180-2

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) has the widest global distribution among terrestrial carnivore species, occupying most of the Northern Hemisphere in its native range. Because it carries diseases that can be transmitted to humans and domestic animals, it...

Tests of multiple molecular markers for the identification of Great Spotted and Syrian Woodpeckers and their hybrids (2014)
Journal Article

Great Spotted and Syrian Woodpeckers (Dendrocopos major and D. syriacus) are known to hybridize in nature; however, the extent of this phenomenon is not known due to difficulties in hybrid detection based on plumage analyses. Here, we tested five mar... Read More about Tests of multiple molecular markers for the identification of Great Spotted and Syrian Woodpeckers and their hybrids.
