We review knowledge about the roles of sex chromosomes in vertebrate hybridization and
speciation, exploring a gradient of divergences with increasing reproductive isolation …

We genotyped multiple populations of all seven parthenogenetic species of rock lizards,
genus Darevskia, as well as their putative sexual parental populations, using double digest …

Caucasian rock lizards (Darevskia) are a speciose group with 42 described species from the
Caucasus Mountain region. We selected 11 species from Georgia and adjacent territories to …

Revealing biodiversity allows the accurate determination of the underlying causes of many
biological processes such as speciation and hybridization. These processes contain many …

We compared the life history components of small and large-bodied unisexual (Darevskia
dahli and Darevskia armeniaca) and bisexual (Darevskia portschinskii, Darevskia valentini …

Parthenogenetic species of Caucasian rock lizards of the genus Darevksia are important
evidence for reticulate evolution and speciation by hybridization in vertebrates. Female‐only …

In this study, we re-examine the Darevskia parvula group comprehensively using
morphology, osteology and mitochondrial phylogeny, and describe a new endemic species …

Among vertebrates, obligate parthenogenesis is only found in Squamata, where it always
has a hybrid origin and a few lizard genera contain most of the known hybridogenous …

Head shape plays a crucial role in ecological and evolutionary processes in lizards, and
scientists have studied head shape using traditional and 3D geometric morphometrics …

Three rock lizard species (genus Darevskia) occur in the same mountain gorge of the
Greater Caucasus mountains located in Northern Georgia. Whereas Darevskia caucasica …
