Testing the island effect on phenotypic diversification: insights from the Hemidactylus geckos of the Socotra Archipelago.

Scientific reports - 13 Apr 2016

Garcia-Porta Joan, Šmíd Jiří, Sol Daniel, Fasola Mauro, Carranza Salvador

Abstract excerpt

Island colonization is often assumed to trigger extreme levels of phenotypic diversification. Yet, empirical evidence suggests that it does not always so. In this study we test this hypothesis using a completely sampled mainland-island system, the arid clade of Hemidactylus, a group of geckos mainly distributed across Africa, Arabia and the Socotra Archipelago. To such purpose, we generated a new molecular...
