Island faunas can be characterized by gigantism in small animals and dwarfism in large
animals, but the extent to which this so-called 'island rule'provides a general explanation for …

A critical review of the evolutionary biology of Iberian and North African lizard members of
the genus Podarcis (Lacertidae) based on phylogeny, phylogeography, morphometrics …

Podarcis bocagei and P. carbonelli are two closely related lacertid species, very similar
morphologically and ecologically. We investigated sexual dimorphism patterns presented by …

Wall lizards of the genus Podarcis (Sauria, Lacertidae) comprise 17 currently recognized
species in southern Europe, where they are the predominant reptile group. The taxonomy of …

Podarcis bocagei and Podarcis carbonelli are two lacertid species endemic to the western
Iberian Peninsula, and both show head size and shape sexual dimorphism. We studied …

Wall lizards of the genus Podarcis (Sauria, Lacertidae) comprise 17 currently recognized
species in southern Europe, where they are the predominant nonavian reptile group. The …

Phylogenetic relationships between species and morphotypes of Podarcis wall lizards from
the Iberian Peninsula and north Africa were estimated using partial 12S rRNA and …

Wall lizards (Podarcis) are the dominant reptile group across most of southern Europe. Their
taxonomy is complex because most species exhibit substantial intraspecific morphological …

Podarcis carbonelli is considered a full species on the basis of its morphological and genetic
divergence from P. bocagei and P. hispanica. Podarcis carbonelli differs from P. bocagei in …

Recently, several works have focused on the lacertid lizards of the genus Podarcis,
revealing cases of hidden diversity and paraphyly, and offering evidence that suggests the …
