Intraspecific Diversity and Phylogeography in Southern Appalachian Dasycerus carolinensis (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Dasycerinae)

The southern Appalachian Mountains in eastern North America host exceptional diversity, a substantial proportion of which has been generated in place. Yet, beyond broad generalities, bio- and phylogeographical patterns, and the temporal scale of diversification in the region are poorly resolved. Using one mitochondrial and one nuclear marker, we analyze intraspecific diversity patterns in a flightless, litter-inhabiting rove beetle Dasycerus...
