Life in the “dead heart” of Australia: The geohistory of the Australian deserts and its impact on genetic diversity of arid zone lizards
Abstract Aim The Australian deserts are home to a remarkable diversity of taxa that might
appear to have evolved in the absence of topographic and physical barriers to dispersal. In …

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 …
