The last species list of the European herpetofauna was published by Speybroeck, Beukema
and Crochet (2010). In the meantime, ongoing research led to numerous taxonomic …

The advent of genomic methods allows us to revisit the evolutionary history of organismal
groups for which robust phylogenies are still lacking, particularly in species complexes that …

Subdivided Pleistocene glacial refugia, best known as “refugia within refugia”, provided
opportunities for diverging populations to evolve into incipient species and/or to hybridize …

The radiation of Palearctic green toads (Bufotes) holds great potential to evaluate the role of
hybridization in phylogeography at multiple stages along the speciation continuum. With …

Molecular ecologists often rely on phylogenetic evidence for assessing the species-level
systematics of newly discovered lineages. Alternatively, the extent of introgression at …

Cryptic phylogeographic diversifications provide unique models to examine the role of
phylogenetic divergence on the evolution of reproductive isolation, without extrinsic factors …

Species delimitation is a first step for realizing the extent of biodiversity and is relevant for all
downstream applications in biology. The production of large genome-scale datasets for non …

Erosion of biodiversity generated by anthropogenic activities has been studied for decades
and in many areas at the species level, using taxa monitoring. In contrast, genetic erosion …

The genomic era contributes to update the taxonomy of many debated terrestrial vertebrates.
In an accompanying work, we provided a comprehensive molecular assessment of …

Because it is indicative of reproductive isolation, the amount of genetic introgression across
secondary contact zones is increasingly considered in species delimitation. However …
