The genus Hemidactylus is one of the most species-rich and widely distributed of all reptile
genera, being found in thetropical and subtropical regions of the world and hundreds of …

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 …

Genealogical data are an important source of evidence for delimiting species, yet few
statistical methods are available for calculating the probabilities associated with different …

Abstract Geckos in the Western Hemisphere provide an excellent model to study faunal
assembly at a continental scale. We generated a time‐calibrated phylogeny, including …

Given Singapore's location at the confluence of important maritime trading routes, and that it
was established as a British East India Company trading post in 1819, it is unsurprising that …

Aim In contrast to the attention given to southern Europe both as a centre of speciation and
differentiation and as a Pleistocene refugium of Western Palaearctic taxa, North Africa has …

Aim The use of ecological niche models (ENMs) to predict potential distributions of species
is steadily increasing. A necessary assumption is that climatic niches are conservative, but …

Abstract Aim Geckos (Reptilia: Squamata), due to their great age and global distribution, are
excellent candidates to test hypotheses of Gondwanan vicariance against post‐Gondwanan …

We present a comprehensive summary of the distribution of the lizards of Iran accompanied
by an annotated checklist. The updated maps of distribution of all 146 species of 41 genera …

Vicariance is potentially a key biogeographic process (Rosen, 1978) that physically disrupts
populations—typically through geological upheaval—and leads to genetic divergence and …
