Past forest cover explains current genetic differentiation in the Carpathian newt (Lissotriton montandoni), but not in the smooth newt (L. vulgaris)
B Antunes, K Dudek, M Pabijan… - Diversity and …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Current genetic variation and differentiation are expected to reflect the effects of past
rather than present landscapes due to time lags, that is, the time necessary for genetic …

Independent evolutionary transitions to pueriparity across multiple timescales in the viviparous genus Salamandra
The ability to bear live offspring, viviparity, has evolved multiple times across the tree of life
and is a remarkable adaptation with profound life-history and ecological implications. Within …

Genomic analysis reveals complex population structure within the smooth newt, Lissotriton vulgaris, in Central Europe
Species with wide‐range distributions usually display high genetic variation. This variation
can be partly explained by historical lineages that were temporally isolated from each other …

Landscape resistance constrains hybridization across contact zones in a reproductively and morphologically polymorphic salamander
Explicitly accounting for phenotypic differentiation together with environmental heterogeneity
is crucial to understand the evolutionary dynamics in hybrid zones. Species showing intra …

Matrotrophy and polyandry partially regulate postcopulatory mechanisms and sexual selection in a bimodal viviparous salamander
The evolution of matrotrophic viviparity creates new scenarios within which evolutionary
processes can operate, including postcopulatory events, family conflicts, and selective …

Whole genomes of Amazonian uakari monkeys reveal complex connectivity and fast differentiation driven by high environmental dynamism
Despite showing the greatest primate diversity on the planet, genomic studies on
Amazonian primates show very little representation in the literature. With 48 geolocalized …
