Environmental temperatures shape thermal physiology as well as diversification and genome-wide substitution rates in lizards
Climatic conditions changing over time and space shape the evolution of organisms at
multiple levels, including temperate lizards in the family Lacertidae. Here we reconstruct a
dated phylogenetic tree of 262 lacertid species based on a supermatrix relying on novel
phylogenomic datasets and fossil calibrations. Diversification of lacertids was accompanied
by an increasing disparity among occupied bioclimatic niches, especially in the last 10 Ma,
during a period of progressive global cooling. Temperate species also underwent a genome …
