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 …

Subspecies at crossroads: the evolutionary significance of genomic and phenotypic variation in a wide-ranging Australian lizard (Ctenotus pantherinus)
Many subspecies were described to capture phenotypic variation in wide-ranging taxa, with
some later being found to correspond to divergent genetic lineages. We investigate whether …
