Although DNA sequence data provide key evidence about the course of evolution, sometimes they yield unexpected or contradictory results.
Although DNA sequence data provide key evidence about the course of evolution, sometimes they yield unexpected or contradictory results. Using examples from my research on snails and clams, I discuss some reasons for these anomalies and how we can arrive at a better understanding of evolution by understanding these complications.
