| defining spatial and temporal patterns of phylogeographic structure in madagascar's iguanid lizards (genus oplurus). | understanding the remarkably high species diversity and levels of endemism found among madagascar's flora and fauna has been the focus of many studies. one hypothesis that has received much attention proposes that quaternary climate fluctuations spurred diversification. while spatial patterns of distribution and phylogenetic relationships can provide support for biogeographic predictions, temporal estimates of divergence are required to determine the fit of these geospatial patterns to climatic ... | 2012 | 22694729 |
| molecular homology assessment and phylogeny in the lizard family opluridae (squamata: iguania). | the effect of utilizing secondary structure on multiple alignment and phylogeny reconstruction was examined for the mitochondrial 12s ribosomal rna and valine transfer rna genes in the lizard family opluridae. computer-generated multiple alignments were performed under parsimony using gap costs of 1-10 both with and without reference to secondary structure. alignments performed without secondary structure resulted in disruption of positional homology in some stems at all gap costs. number of mis ... | 1996 | 8812305 |
