Narrow thermal tolerance and low dispersal drive higher speciation in tropical mountains

NR Polato, BA Gill, AA Shah, MM Gray… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences

Life in the “dead heart” of Australia: The geohistory of the Australian deserts and its impact on genetic diversity of arid zone lizards

M Pepper, JS Keogh - Journal of Biogeography, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Aim The Australian deserts are home to a remarkable diversity of taxa that might
appear to have evolved in the absence of topographic and physical barriers to dispersal. In …

Environmental heterogeneity and not vicariant biogeographic barriers generate community‐wide population structure in desert‐adapted snakes

EA Myers, AT Xue, M Gehara, CL Cox… - Molecular …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Genetic structure can be influenced by local adaptation to environmental heterogeneity and
biogeographic barriers, resulting in discrete population clusters. Geographic distance …
