Genetic diversity is largely unpredictable but scales with museum occurrences in a species-rich clade of Australian lizards.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity is a fundamental characteristic of species and is affected by many factors, including mutation rate, population size, life history and demography. To better understand the processes that influence levels of genetic diversity across taxa, we collected genome-wide restriction-associated DNA data from more than 500 individuals spanning 76 nominal species of Australian scincid lizards in the genus...
