The rapid expansion of next‐generation sequencing has yielded a powerful array of tools to
address fundamental biological questions at a scale that was inconceivable just a few years …

Abstract The genus Hemidactylus in Angola is represented by six species, all of them part of
taxonomically and nomenclaturally challenging species complexes. We present a detailed …

The Asian/Pacific genus Cyrtodactylus is the most diverse and among the most widely
distributed genera of geckos, and more species are continually being discovered. Major …

A decade ago Sites and Marshall [1] described the empirical practice of species delimitation
as “a Renaissance issue in systematic biology”. At the time there was an odd disconnect …

Shifts in the geographic distribution of habitats over time can promote dispersal and
vicariance, thereby influencing large‐scale biogeographic patterns and ecological …

Recent advances in high‐throughput sequencing library preparation and subgenomic
enrichment methods have opened new avenues for population genetics and phylogenetics …

Resolving difficult nodes for any part of the vertebrate tree of life often requires analyzing a
large number of loci. Develo** molecular markers that are workable for the groups of …

Despite an abundance of phylogenetic studies focused on intrageneric relationships of
members of the Mabuya group, the intergeneric relationships have remained difficult to …

Molecular phylogenetics has entered a new era in which species trees are estimated from a
collection of gene trees using methods that accommodate their heterogeneity and …

Color polymorphism—two or more heritable color phenotypes maintained within a single
breeding population—is an extreme type of intraspecific diversity widespread across the tree …
