The older history of hybrid zones is explored through consideration of recent advances in
climatology, paleontology and phylogeography in the Late Cenozoic, particularly the …

The Mediterranean peninsulas contain much genetic and species diversity, which
decreases toward higher latitudes in Europe. In considering how such diversity evolved …

Animal taxa show remarkable variability in species richness across phylogenetic groups.
Most explanations for this disparity postulate that taxa with more species have phenotypes …

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

Variation in 815bp of mitochondrial DNA from two gene fragments (300bp of cytochrome b
and 395–515bp of 12S rRNA) for 26 Malpolon monspessulanus, and cytochrome b for a …

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

Evolutionary inference based on molecular phylogenetic methods has profoundly modified
the way that we understand biological diversity, unravelling a higher evolutionary diversity …

Aim To study the patterns of genetic variation and the historical events and processes that
influenced the distribution and intraspecific diversity in Hyla meridionalis Boettger, 1874 …

Understanding the relationship between form and function is central to our comprehension
of how phenotypic diversity evolves. Traits involved in multiple activities, such as social …

The current range of European vipers is mostly parapatric but local‐scale allopatric
distribution is common and few cases of sympatry are known. In the High Course of Ebro …
