The taxonomy of the Tarentola mauritanica species complex (Gekkota: Phyllodactylidae): Bayesian species delimitation supports six candidate species
The lack of morphological diagnosable characters typical of cryptic species, poses a
particular problem to taxonomists. This is especially true when taxa are closely related …

The Bogert Effect and environmental heterogeneity
ML Logan, J van Berkel, S Clusella-Trullas - Oecologia, 2019 - Springer
A classic question in evolutionary biology is whether behavioral flexibility hastens or hinders
evolutionary change. The latter idea, that behavior reduces the number of environmental …
