| integrative taxonomy of the rock-dwelling gecko cnemaspis siamensis complex (squamata, gekkonidae) reveals a new species from nakhon si thammarat province, southern thailand. | the rock-dwelling gecko genus cnemaspis is one of the most species-diverse genera of gekkonid in thailand. earlier studies relied on morphological data to identify species, but cryptic morphology often obscured species diversity in cnemaspis. in this study, an integrative taxonomic approach based on morphological characters and sequences of the mitochondrial nadh dehydrogenase subunit 2 (nd2) gene were used to clarify current taxonomy of the cnemaspis siamensis complex and delimit a new species ... | 2020 | 32476977 |
| the discovery of rock geckos cnemaspis strauch, 1887 (squamata: gekkonidae) in the tanintharyi region, myanmar with the description of two new species. | we report the first occurrence of the asian rock gecko genus cnemaspis strauch, 1887 from mainland myanmar based on a series of specimens recently collected from the tanintharyi region. these records come from several localities in the tanintharyi region and fill a significant sampling gap for the genus. molecular phylogenetic analyses using the mitochondrial gene nd2 identify two distinct clades, the first includes cnemaspis siamensis of the southeast asian cnemaspis group and the second includ ... | 2019 | 31716716 |
