Abstract: | Background Dating of population divergence is critical in understanding speciation and in evaluating the evolutionary significance of
genetic lineages, upon which identification of conservation and management units should be based. In this study we used a
multilocus approach and the Isolation-Migration model based on coalescence theory to estimate the time of divergence of the
Spanish and Eastern imperial eagle sister species. This model enables estimation of population sizes at split, and inference
of gene flow after divergence. |
