Integrative taxonomy and geographic sampling underlie successful species delimitation
Species delimitation requires a broad assessment of population-level variation using
multiple lines of evidence, a process known as integrative taxonomy. More specifically …

Climate change, extinction, and Sky Island biogeography in a montane lizard
Around the world, many species are confined to “Sky Islands,” with different populations in
isolated patches of montane habitat. How does this pattern arise? One scenario is that …

Relative roles of Neogene vicariance and Quaternary climate change on the historical diversification of bunchgrass lizards (Sceloporus scalaris group) in Mexico
Neogene vicariance during the Miocene and Pliocene and Quaternary climate change have
synergistically driven diversification in Mexican highland taxa. We investigated the impacts …
