DNA sequence indicates the Lacertidae contain two subfamilies, Gallotiinae and Lacertinae,
the latter comprising two monophyletic tribes, the Eremiadini of Africa and arid southwest …

We present a comprehensive summary of the distribution of the lizards of Iran accompanied
by an annotated checklist. The updated maps of distribution of all 146 species of 41 genera …

Abstract West European Rock lizards, Lacerta (Iberolacerta) have small widely separated
ranges in highland areas. Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences corroborate the …

Despite numerous works devoted to hybrid origin of parthenogenesis in reptiles, the causes
of hybridization between different species, resulting in the origin of parthenogenetic forms …

Hybridization is a common evolutionary process with multiple possible outcomes. In
vertebrates, interspecific hybridization has repeatedly generated parthenogenetic hybrid …

Materials and methods Muscle samples or tail tips were obtained from 73 individuals
(specimens in collection or live individuals) representing all known taxa of Iberolacerta …

A unique hybridization zone of rock lizard species of genus Darevskia, with diploid (2n),
triploid (3n) and tetraploid (4n) individuals, occurs in the mountain steppe of central …

We generated a phylogeny for Caucasian rock lizards (Darevskia), and included six other
families of true lizards (Lacertini), based on complete mitochondrial genome analysis. Next …

The extant reptiles are one of the most diverse clades among terrestrial vertebrates and one
of a few groups with instances of parthenogenesis. Due to the hybrid origin of …
