Evolutionary origins and diversification of dragon lizards in Australia's tropical savannas.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Feb 2011

Melville J, Ritchie E G, Chapple S N J, Glor R E, Schulte J A

Abstract excerpt

Australia's monsoonal tropics are dominated by the largest and least modified savanna woodlands in the world, and they are globally significant for their high biodiversity and regional endemism. Despite this, there have been very few molecular studies of the evolutionary origins and diversification of vertebrates in this region. The semi-arboreal dragon lizards of Lophognathus and Amphibolurus are widely...
