DNA fingerprinting in zoology: past, present, future
TL;DR: The later development of PCR-based genotyping of individuals using microsatellite repeats sequences, and their use in determining multiple paternity, is conceptually rooted in Alec Jeffreys’ pioneering work.
A preliminary molecular analysis of phylogenetic and biogeographic relationships of New Zealand Thomisidae (Araneae) using a multi-locus approach
TL;DR: Evidence of recent dispersal to New Zealand by Australian stephanopines combined with the proposed maximum divergence date of 5.3 mya indicates that the New Zealand thomisids are a younger lineage than previously suspected.
Genetic Variation of Southern Hemisphere Fur Seals (Arctocephalus spp.): Investigation of Population Structure and Species Identity
TL;DR: New molecular data are inconsistent with current taxonomic definitions of species within the Southern Hemisphere fur seals and argue for reevaluation of these "species" definitions.
Genetic analysis of interspecific hybridisation in the world’s only Forbes’parakeet (Cyanoramphus forbesi) natural population
Chi-hang Chan,Kaye N. Ballantyne,Hilary Aikman,Denise Fastier,Charles H. Daugherty,Geoffrey K. Chambers +5 more
TL;DR: Only a small proportion of birds with Forbes’ parakeet morphotype were found to be genetically distinct from Chatham Island Red-crowned parakeets using microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA assignment tests, but these still represent an Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) for conservation.
The effective mutation rate at Y chromosome short tandem repeats, with application to human population-divergence time.

TL;DR: This value is used to estimate the times of the African Bantu expansion, the divergence of Polynesian populations (the Maoris, Cook Islanders, and Samoans), and the origin of Gypsy populations from Bulgaria.
