Molecular phylogenetic perspective on evolution of lizards of the Anolis grahami seriesTodd R Jackman
Department of Biology, Villanova University, Villanova, Pennsylvania 19085, USA
J Exp Zool 294:1-16. 2002..Divergence among haplotypes within A. garmani is substantially lower (approximately 3% sequence difference), and phylogeographic patterns are significantly different from those observed in A. grahami, A. lineatopus and A. opalinus...
Molecular phylogenetic relationships among species of the Malagasy-Comoran gecko genus Paroedura (Squamata: Gekkonidae)Todd R Jackman
Department of Biology, Villanova University, 800 Lancaster Ave, Villanova, PA 19085, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 46:74-81. 2008..Our data demonstrate the phylogenetic utility of phosducin, a novel marker in squamate phylogenetics, at the intrageneric level...
Partial island submergence and speciation in an adaptive radiation: a multilocus analysis of the Cuban green anolesRichard E Glor
Department of Biology, Campus Box 1137, Washington University, St Louis, MO 63130 4899, USA
Proc Biol Sci 271:2257-65. 2004..Allopatric speciation initiated during partial island submergence may play an important role in speciation during the adaptive radiation of Anolis lizards...
New Zealand geckos (Diplodactylidae): Cryptic diversity in a post-Gondwanan lineage with trans-Tasman affinitiesStuart V Nielsen
Department of Biology, Villanova University, 800 Lancaster Ave, Villanova, PA 19085, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 59:1-22. 2011..Major lineages within New Zealand geckos diverged chiefly during the mid- to late Miocene, probably in association with a suite of geological and climatological factors that have characterized the region's complex history...
South Asia supports a major endemic radiation of Hemidactylus geckosAaron M Bauer
Department of Biology, Villanova University, Villanova, PA 19085, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 57:343-52. 2010..There have been extensive Quaternary land connections between India and Sri Lanka but sister-species pairs of Hemidactylus on the two land masses diverged from one another much earlier, probably in the mid-Miocene...
Niche lability in the evolution of a Caribbean lizard communityJonathan B Losos
Department of Biology, Campus Box 1137, Washington University, St Louis, Missouri 63130, USA
Nature 424:542-5. 2003....
Bridging the gap: western rock skinks (Trachylepis sulcata) have a short history in South AfricaDaniel M Portik
Department of Biology, Villanova University, 800 Lancaster Avenue, Villanova, PA 19085 1699, USA
Mol Ecol 20:1744-58. 2011..The complex phylogeographic history of T. sulcata corroborates the intricate patterns of genetic variation found in South African taxa and provides novel insight into historical processes affecting species distributed across Namibia...
Evolution of gliding in Southeast Asian geckos and other vertebrates is temporally congruent with dipterocarp forest developmentMatthew P Heinicke
Department of Biology, Villanova University, Mendel Hall, 800 Lancaster Avenue, Villanova, PA 19085, USA
Biol Lett 8:994-7. 2012..These results demonstrate that a gliding/dipterocarp correlation is temporally viable, and caution against the assumption of early origins for apomorphic taxa...
Zebrafish brd2a and brd2b are paralogous members of the bromodomain-ET (BET) family of transcriptional coregulators that show structural and expression divergenceAngela J Dibenedetto
Department of Biology, Villanova University, Villanova, PA, USA
BMC Dev Biol 8:39. 2008....
Between a rock and a hard polytomy: rapid radiation in the rupicolous girdled lizards (Squamata: Cordylidae)Edward L Stanley
Department of Biology, Villanova University, 800 Lancaster Ave, Villanova, PA 19085, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 58:53-70. 2011..Short internodes and low support between the non-platysaur lineages are consistent with a rapid radiation event at the base of the viviparous cordylids...
Phylogeny of bent-toed geckos (Cyrtodactylus) reveals a west to east pattern of diversificationPerry L Wood
Department of Biology, 147 Mendel Hall, Villanova University, 800 Lancaster Ave, Villanova, PA 19085, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 65:992-1003. 2012..Overall, these results are consistent with past suggestions of a Palearctic origin for Cyrtodactylus, and highlight the key role of geography in diversification of the genus...
