| cryptic lineages and diversification of an endemic anole lizard (squamata, dactyloidae) of the cerrado hotspot. | the cerrado is a wide neotropical savanna with tremendously high endemic diversity. yet, it is not clear what the prevalent processes leading to such diversification are. we used the cerrado-endemic lizard norops meridionalis to investigate the main abiotic factors that promoted genetic divergence, the timings of these divergence events, and how these relate to cryptic diversity in the group. we sequenced mitochondrial and nuclear genes from 21 sites of n. meridionalis to generate species tree, ... | 2016 | 26385121 |
