Systematics and phylogeography of the widely distributed African skink Trachylepis varia species complex.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Mar 2018

Weinell Jeffrey L, Bauer Aaron M

Abstract excerpt

A systematic study of the Trachylepis varia complex was conducted using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA markers for individuals sampled across the species range. The taxonomic history of T. varia has been complicated and its broad geographic distribution and considerable phenotypic variation has made taxonomic revision difficult, leading earlier taxonomists to suggest that T. varia is a species complex. We used...
