Description
Summary:<p>Abstract</p> <p>The phylogenetic systematics of bovin species forms a common basis for studies at multiple scales, from the level of domestication in populations to major cladogenesis. The main big-picture accomplishments of this productive field, including two recent works, one in <it>BMC Genomics</it>, are reviewed with an eye for some of the limitations and challenges impeding progress.
