Island biogeography of Galápagos lava lizards (Tropiduridae: Microlophus): species diversity and colonization of the archipelago.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2009

Benavides Edgar, Baum Rebecca, Snell Heidi M, Snell Howard L, Sites Jack W

Abstract excerpt

The "lava lizards" (Microlophus) are distributed throughout the Galápagos Archipelago, and consist of radiations derived from two independent colonizations. The "Eastern Radiation" includes M. bivittatus and M. habeli endemic to San Cristobal and Marchena Islands. The "Western Radiation" includes five to seven historically recognized species distributed across almost the entire Archipelago. We combine dense...
