However, genetic analyses have more recently played an increasingly important role in confirming existing or establishing often radically different mammalian groupings and phylogenies. The two most commonly used genetic loci in species identification are the cytochrome oxidase I gene (COI) and the cytochrome b gene (cyt b). For the first time this study provides a detailed comparison of the effectiveness of these two loci in reconstructing the phylogeny of mammals at different levels of the taxonomic hierarchy in order to provide a basis for standardizing methodologies in the future. Interspecific and intraspecific variation is assessed and for the first time, to our knowledge, statistical confidence is applied to sequence comparisons. Comparison of the DNA sequences of 217 mammalian species reveals that cyt b more accurately reconstructs their phylogeny and known relationships between species based on other molecular and morphological analyses at Super Order, Order, Family and generic levels. Cyt b correctly assigned 95.85% of mammal species to Super Order, 94.31% to Order and 98.16% to Family compared to 78.34%, 93.36% and 96.93% respectively for COI. Cyt b also gives better resolution when separating species based on sequence data. Using a Kimura 2-parameter p-distance (x100) threshold of 1.5–2.5, cyt b gives a better resolution for separating species with a lower false positive rate and higher positive predictive value than those of COI.Item Distribution and Population Demographics of Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in the Gulf St. Vincent, South Australia(2010) Martinez, Emmanuelle; Stockin, Karen A; Filby, Nicole Erin; Bossley, Mike; Sanderson, Kenneth JamesItem Impacts of male and food density on female performance in the brackish cladoceran Daphniopsis australis(2010) Qin, Jianguang; Seuront, Laurent; Adams, Mark Andrew; Ismail, Hasnun-NitaItem Female bisexual kinship ties maintain social cohesion in a dolphin network(2010) Moller, Luciana Marta; Wiszniewski, Joanna; Lusseau, DavidItem Palaeo island-affinities revisited - Biogeography and systematics of the Indo-Pacific genus Cethosia Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)(2010) Muller, C; Beheregaray, Luciano BellagambaItem Observations of a large colony of bats roosting in a church(2010) Sanderson, Kenneth James; Napier, Gillian Marie; Johnston, GregItem Reproductive hierarchies in the African allodapine bee Allodapula dichroa (Apidae; Xylocopinae) and ancestral forms of sociality(2009) Tierney, Simon M; Schwarz, Michael PhilipItem Effects of integrated combination and quicklime supplementation on growth and pearl yield of freshwater pearl mussel, Hyriopsis cumingii (Lea, 1852)(2009) Wang, Yan; Wang, Wei L; Qin, Jianguang; Wang, Xiao D; Zhu, Sheng B
