Complex genetic patterns and distribution limits mediated by native congeners of the worldwide invasive red-eared slider turtle

The paper studies genetic patterns and distribution limits of invasive red-eared slider turtles and their native congeners, finding genetic differentiation and reduced gene flow despite geographic contact.

Comparative phylogeography reveals how a barrier filters and structures taxa in North American warm deserts

The paper uses phylogeographic data and simulations to show how the Cochise Filter Barrier structures taxa in North American deserts based on species traits and divergence mechanisms.

Resolving spatial complexities of hybridization in the context of the gray zone of speciation in North American ratsnakes (Pantherophis obsoletus complex)

The paper uses population genomic data to analyze divergence timing, gene flow, and hybrid zone characteristics in North American ratsnakes, finding that divergence timing is not linked to migration rates but correlates with introgression loci.
