Testing hypotheses on drivers of clade evolution and trait diversification provides insight into
many aspects of evolutionary biology. Often, studies investigate only intrinsic biological …

In this contribution, the aspects of reptile and amphibian speciation that emerged from
research performed over the past decade are reviewed. First, this study assesses how …

RESUMEN La Familia Liolaemidae, integrada por los géneros Ctenoblepharys, Liolaemus y
Phymaturus, es la familia más diversa del sector sur de Sudamérica, y ha experimentado un …

In this study, we present a phylogeographic analysis of a group of lizards distributed in north‐
western Patagonia, the Liolaemus elongatus complex. We sequenced 581 individuals for …

Abstract The endemic Brazilian Enyalius encompasses a diverse group of forest lizards with
most species restricted to the Atlantic Forest (AF). Their taxonomy is problematic due to …

We update the list of lizards of Argentina, reporting a total of 261 species from the country,
arranged in 27 genera and 10 families. Introduced species and dubious or erroneous …

Longevity and age at maturity are key life-history traits, directly linked to fitness attributes
such as survival and reproductive output. It has been proposed that these traits are strongly …

Background Life diversifies via adaptive radiation when natural selection drives the
evolution of ecologically distinct species mediated by their access to novel niche space, or …

In the highlands of the Andes, lizards must balance precisely the allocation of energy for
growth and reproduction to ensure their survival. We studied the individuals' age, growth …

Phylogenomic approaches now generate hundreds of loci representative of the whole
genome that can be used for phylogenetic analyses. The South American lizard genus …
