| new zealand geckos (diplodactylidae): cryptic diversity in a post-gondwanan lineage with trans-tasman affinities. | we used a multi-gene approach to assess the phylogenetic relationships of new zealand diplodactylid geckos to their australian and new caledonian relatives and to one another. data from nuclear (rag-1, pdc) and mitochondrial (nd2, 16s) genes from >180 specimens representing all 19 recognized new zealand taxa and all but two of 20 putatively new species suggested by previous studies were analyzed using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and bayesian inference. all analyses retrieved a monophyl ... | 2011 | 21184833 |
