karyological and genetic variation in middle eastern lacertid lizards, lacerta laevis and the lacerta kulzeri complex: a case of chromosomal allopatric speciation.	karyological (standard and c, ag-nor and alu-i banding methods) and mtdna analyses (cytochrome b and 12s rrna) were conducted on specimens from eight allopatric populations of the lacerta kulzeri complex. parallel analyses were performed for comparison on lacerta laevis specimens. karyological and molecular studies support the morphological and ethological evidence indicating the specific separation between lacerta laevis and lacerta kulzeri. in the lacerta kulzeri complex, chromosomal analysis ...	2003	12733643
multiple copies of coding as well as pseudogene c-mos sequence exist in three lacertid species.	the analysis of a 581 bp section of the nuclear gene c-mos revealed multiple copies of putative functional sequences as well as pseudogenes in three closely related lacertid species lacerta laevis, l. kulzeri and l. cyanisparsa. a phylogenetic analysis of c-mos in comparison with a molecular phylogeny based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene supports our findings. the study also provides new insights into the phylogenetic relationships of l. cyanisparsa and l. laevis. pseudogenes of the thre ...	2006	16739140
