Integrative taxonomy, combining data from multiple axes of biologically relevant variation, is
a major goal of systematics. Ideally, such taxonomies will derive from similarly integrative …

Abstract Spotted and Northern Dusky Salamanders (Desmognathus conanti and D. fuscus)
have a long and complex taxonomic history. At least 10 other currently recognized species …

The girii clade is the most diverse clade of South Asian Cnemaspis in the Northern Western
Ghats, including ten valid species. Recent collections of four divergent lineages from …

Numerous mechanisms can drive speciation, including isolation by adaptation, distance,
and environment. These forces can promote genetic and phenotypic differentiation of local …

 Abstract Species delimitation and species diagnosis must remain separate operations to
avoid constructing taxonomies comprised of non-monophyletic species based on …

We describe two new spotted species of ground-dwelling gecko of the genus Cyrtodactylus
(Geckoella) from southeastern India in an integrative taxonomic framework. The new …

Subdoluseps is a recently described genus of Lygosomine skinks distributed in peninsular

We describe two new small-bodied species of South Asian Cnemaspis from Kanyakumari
District of Tamil Nadu State, India. The two new species are sister taxa, forming a well …

Adaptive radiations garner considerable interest from evolutionary biologists. Lizard
radiations diversifying along structural niche space often exhibit distinct changes in body …
