The challenge of species delimitation at the extremes: diversification without morphological change in philippine sun skinks.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2013

Barley Anthony J, White Jordan, Diesmos Arvin C, Brown Rafe M

Abstract excerpt

An accurate understanding of species diversity is essential to studies across a wide range of biological subdisciplines. However, delimiting species remains challenging in evolutionary radiations where morphological diversification is rapid and accompanied by little genetic differentiation or when genetic lineage divergence is not accompanied by morphological change. We investigate the utility of a variety of...
