Multigene phylogenetic analysis of Lygodactylus dwarf geckos (Squamata: Gekkonidae).

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Jul 2010

Röll Beate, Pröhl Heike, Hoffmann Klaus-Peter

Abstract excerpt

The genus Lygodactylus is a group of small, diurnal geckos distributed mainly in Africa and Madagascar. A closely related, monotypic genus is Microscalabotes from Madagascar. We examined fragments of two moderate- to slow-evolving nuclear genes (RAG-1, RAG-2) and of two fast-evolving mitochondrial genes (16SrRNA, cytochrome b) to estimate phylogenetic relationships among 28 (of about 60) species (including...
