Pre-Quaternary divergence and subsequent radiation explain longitudinal patterns of genetic and morphological variation in the striped skink, Heremites vittatus.

BMC evolutionary biology - 9 Jun 2017

Baier Felix, Schmitz Andreas, Sauer-Gürth Hedwig, Wink Michael

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Many animal and plant species in the Middle East and northern Africa have a predominantly longitudinal distribution, extending from Iran and Turkey along the eastern Mediterranean coast into northern Africa. These species are potentially characterized by longitudinal patterns of biological diversity, but little is known about the underlying biogeographic mechanisms and evolutionary timescales. We...
