Evidence for parallel ecological speciation in scincid lizards of the Eumeces skiltonianus species group (Squamata: Scincidae).

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2002

Richmond Jonathan Q, Reeder Tod W

Abstract excerpt

We identify instances of parallel morphological evolution in North American scincid lizards of the Eumeces skiltonianus species group and provide evidence that this system is consistent with a model of ecological speciation. The group consists of three putative species divided among two morphotyp...
