Integration of molecules and new fossils supports a Triassic origin for Lepidosauria (lizards, snakes, and tuatara)
Background Lepidosauria (lizards, snakes, tuatara) is a globally distributed and ecologically
important group of over 9,000 reptile species. The earliest fossil records are currently …
