Several types of markers can be used to study population genetics and phylogeography. Markers that evolve relatively rapidly like microsatellites and relatively slow like mitochondrial markers can be technically used to get insights into population structure at different time points. Can these be analysed separately and then contrasted to study geneflow patterns and population structure at different time points for the same spatial scale?
I thought the same question before,and I find some peers really did this.
please refer to M. Alice Pinto, Genetics 170: 1653–1665 and Irene MUÑOZ, Apidologie, 2013 (DOI: 10.1007/s13592-012-0179-0), and so on.
hope it helps.
Thank you for your comments. These are really interesting studies but what I meant was at a much larger temporal scale. For example looking at geneflow a few thousand years ago and now.
