Delimiting species using DNA and morphological variation and discordant species limits in spiny lizards (Sceloporus).

Systematic biology - 1 Feb 2002

Wiens John J, Penkrot Tonya A

Abstract excerpt

Haplotype phylogenies based on DNA sequence data are increasingly being used to test traditional species-level taxonomies based on morphology. However, few studies have critically compared species limits based on morphological and DNA data, and the methods used to delimit species using either type of data are only rarely explained. In this paper, we review three approaches for species delimitation (tree-based...
