An accurate species‐level taxonomy is paramount for biogeographical research, and
conversely, biogeographical data are of importance for species delimitation. We here review …

Palearctic water frogs (genus Pelophylax) are an outstanding model in ecology and
evolution, being widespread, speciose, either threatened or threatening to other species …

Despite decades of molecular research, phylogenetic relationships in Palearctic vipers
(genus Vipera) still essentially rely on a few loci, such as mitochondrial barcoding genes …

Animal translocations provide striking examples of the human footprint on biodiversity.
Combining continental-wide genomic and DNA-barcoding analyses, we reconstructed the …

In PNAS, Dufresnes et al.(1) provide a reasonable justification for the concept of subspecies
in its modern understanding (subspecies as a phylogeographic sublineage). In this article …

Gene flow between diverging lineages challenges the resolution of species boundaries and
the understanding of evolutionary history in recent radiations. Here, we integrate …

The rich genetic and phenotypic diversity of species complexes is best recognized through
formal taxonomic naming, but one must first assess the evolutionary history of …

The desert vipers of the genus Cerastes are a small clade of medically important venomous
snakes within the family Viperidae. According to published morphological and molecular …

European marbled newts come in two species that have abutting ranges. The northern
species, Triturus marmoratus, is found in France and the northern part of the Iberian …

Despite recent progress in our understanding of diversity within the genus Trimeresurus
