Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial protein coding cytochrome b (cyt b; 650 bp) and small-subunit 12S ribosomal RNA (approximately 350 bp) genes were used in analyses of phylogenetic relationships among extant phrynosomatid sand lizards, including an examination of competing hypotheses regarding the evolution of "earlessness." Sequences were obtained from all currently recognized species of sand lizards as...
