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 …

We genotyped multiple populations of all seven parthenogenetic species of rock lizards,
genus Darevskia, as well as their putative sexual parental populations, using double digest …

Abstract The genus Eunectes Wagler, 1830 is divided into four nominal species: E. murinus
(Linnaeus, 1758), E. notaeus Cope, 1862, E. deschauenseei Dunn and Conant, 1936, and …

Background The majority of parthenogenetic vertebrates derive from hybridization between
sexually reproducing species, but the exact number of hybridization events ancestral to …

Caucasian rock lizards (Darevskia) are a speciose group with 42 described species from the
Caucasus Mountain region. We selected 11 species from Georgia and adjacent territories to …

Abstract The Lindholm rock lizard, Darevskia lindholmi, is the only member of the genus
Darevskia whose range is restricted solely to Europe, representing a local endemism found …

Comparative studies on mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) as well as the structure and
evolution of the mitochondrial control region are few in the Lacertidae family. Here, the …

Anatolia is characterized by a complex topological structure and a wide diversity of climatic
regions. This geological context has been crucial during the evolution of the rock lizard …

Parthenogenetic species of Caucasian rock lizards of the genus Darevksia are important
evidence for reticulate evolution and speciation by hybridization in vertebrates. Female‐only …
