Abstract excerpt
We examine species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships within the Australian diplodactyline geckos currently assigned to Diplodactylus granariensis and Diplodactylus vittatus using data from multiple allozyme loci, the mitochondrial ND2 gene and published karyotypic studies. These analyses uncover at least six morphologically cryptic but genetically distinctive species. The taxa identified correspond poorly...
