Chromosome evolution and diversification in North American spiny lizards (genus Sceloporus).

Cytogenetic and genome research - 1 Jan 2009

Leaché A D, Sites J W

Abstract excerpt

The genus Sceloporus is a diverse clade of lizards that exhibits substantial variation in chromosome numbers and sex chromosome heteromorphisms, 2 features of the genome that are static among most other pleurodont iguanian lizards. Evolutionary changes to the fundamental number of chromosomes are hypothesized to be a primary factor responsible for driving the diversification of Sceloporus. We explore the patterns...
