Abstract excerpt
Phrynocephalus erythrurus of the Qiangtang Plateau occupies the highest regions of any reptile on earth. Here, we report mitochondrial DNA haplotypes sampled throughout the distribution of P. erythrurus and analyze patterns of genetic divergence among populations. The species diverged into two major lineages/subspecies at 3.67mya corresponding to the Northern and Southern Qiangtang Plateau. The Northern Qiangtang...
