The genetics of evolutionary radiations
With the realization that much of the biological diversity on Earth has been generated by
discrete evolutionary radiations, there has been a rapid increase in research into the biotic …

Cryptic lineage diversity, body size divergence, and sympatry in a species complex of Australian lizards (Gehyra)
Understanding the joint evolutionary and ecological underpinnings of sympatry among close
relatives remains a key challenge in biology. This problem can be addressed through joint …

Evidence for cryptic diversification in a rupicolous forest-dwelling gecko (Gekkonidae: Afroedura pondolia) from a biodiversity hotspot
We assess the phylogeographic structure and test several species delimitation methods in
the forest-living Pondo flat-gecko, Afroedura pondolia, by sampling specimens from across …

Evolution of the gekkotan adhesive system: does digit anatomy point to one or more origins?
AP Russell, T Gamble - Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Recently-developed, molecularly-based phylogenies of geckos have provided the basis for
reassessing the number of times adhesive toe-pads have arisen within the Gekkota. At …
