Environmental heterogeneity and not vicariant biogeographic barriers generate community‐wide population structure in desert‐adapted snakes
Genetic structure can be influenced by local adaptation to environmental heterogeneity and
biogeographic barriers, resulting in discrete population clusters. Geographic distance …
