Systematic Value of Electrophoretic Data
Abstract
Two consistent observations from recent multi-locus electrophoretic studies are: (1) levels of genie similarity between conspecific populations appear very high (populations nearly identical in allelic content at 85 percent or more of their loci) and (2) genie similarities between different, even very closely related species, are generally much lower and more widely dispersed (congeneric species pairs often completely distinct at one-fifth to four-fifths of their loci). These observations have valuable implications regarding the practical utility of electrophoresis: (1) one or a few samples often yield adequate data for the description of an entire species for systematic purposes and (2) closely related species may be arranged according to percentages of shared alleles or genotypes. A survey of the literature indicates that when such arrangements are made, they usually correspond very closely to previously recognized relationships of various species groups based on classical systematic criteria. This observation, coupled with several theoretical advantages of the study of allozymes, makes it clear that electrophoretic techniques will provide an extremely valuable tool for systematists.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
