Speciation and radiations track climate transitions since the Miocene Climatic Optimum: a case study of southern African chameleons
Aim The high amount of species diversity concentrated in southern Africa has been
attributed to palaeoclimatic factors, and the timing of radiations in some taxa corresponds to …

Molecular phylogenetics and taxonomic reassessment of the widespread agamid lizard Calotes versicolor (Daudin, 1802)(Squamata, Agamidae) across South Asia
The genus Calotes Cuvier, 1817 (Agamidae: Draconinae) is highly diverse, with species
occurring in South and Southeast Asia, and Oceania. Most species of the subfamily except …

Species definitions and conservation: a review and case studies from African mammals
The nature of species, especially as applied to large mammals, is of major concern in
conservation. Here, we briefly comment on recent thinking in alpha taxonomy, and assert …

Evidence for cryptic diversification in a rupicolous forest-dwelling gecko (Gekkonidae: Afroedura pondolia) from a biodiversity hotspot
We assess the phylogeographic structure and test several species delimitation methods in
the forest-living Pondo flat-gecko, Afroedura pondolia, by sampling specimens from across …

The Bogert Effect and environmental heterogeneity
A classic question in evolutionary biology is whether behavioral flexibility hastens or hinders
evolutionary change. The latter idea, that behavior reduces the number of environmental …
