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 …

Aim Deserts are generally perceived as areas of low diversity, and hence receive little
attention from researchers and conservationists. Squamates are the dominant group of …

In the present work, we use an exceptional database including 5,359 records of 101 species
of Oman's terrestrial reptiles together with spatial tools to infer the spatial patterns of species …

The understanding of the diversity of species in the Palearctic and the processes that have
generated it is still weak for large parts of the arid areas of North Africa and Arabia. Reptiles …

Accurately delimiting species and their geographic ranges is imperative for conservation,
especially in areas experiencing rapid habitat loss. Southeast Asia currently has one of the …

Aim To understand the patterns of genetic, geographical and morphological diversification in
the Arabian gecko subspecies Pristurus rupestris rupestris, and to discuss the various …

The systematic, phylogenetic, and biogeographic aspects of the rich squamate fauna of the
Arabian Peninsula are becoming increasingly well understood. The Arabian members of the …

Aim Deserts represent dynamic ecosystems that support communities of endemic and
specialised species. We analysed the role of present and past climatic conditions in shaping …

We present an expanded ND2 phylogeny of the brookii and prashadi groups of Indian
Hemidactylus. While relationships within the clades are not well resolved, we recover many …

Since the Oligocene, regions adjacent to the Red Sea have experienced major
environmental changes, from tectonic movements and continuous geological activity to …
