Phylogeographic and genetic insights into Sinonychia martensi: an endemic cave-dwelling harvestman in Beijing by Ruoyi Xiao, Jingjing Zhao, Likun Zhao, Shahan Derkarabetian, Feng Zhang, Chao Zhang

“…We also investigated the genetic diversity, population genetic structure and demographic history of S. martensi to clarify the population-level relationships and make inferences about historical phylogeography. The results indicate that the species from different caves all belonged to S. martensi but represent different populations. …”

Molecular Phylogenetic Analysis of 16S rRNA Sequences Identified Two Lineages of Helicobacter pylori Strains Detected from Different Regions in Sudan Suggestive of Differential Evo... by Abeer Babiker Idris, Hadeel Gassim Hassan, Maryam Atif Salaheldin Ali, Sulafa Mohamed Eltaher, Leena Babiker Idris, Hisham N. Altayb, Amin Mohamed Abass, Mustafa Mohammed Ahmed Ibrahim, El-Amin Mohamed Ibrahim, Mohamed A. Hassan

“…Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is ubiquitous among humans and one of the best-studied examples of an intimate association between bacteria and humans. Phylogeny and Phylogeography of H. pylori strains are known to mirror human migration patterns and reflect significant demographic events in human prehistory. …”
