Evidence of body size and shape stasis driven by selection in Patagonian lizards of the Phymaturus patagonicus clade (Squamata: Liolaemini).

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Dec 2018

González Marín Andrea, Olave Melisa, Avila Luciano J, Sites Jack W, Morando Mariana

Abstract excerpt

During the speciation process sibling lineages accumulate differences in time (e.g. genetic, morphological, and/or ecological). Phenotypic traits such as size or shape, however, could experience rapid changes or show stasis depending on their role in survival and reproduction. The clade Phymaturus patagonicus includes 26 species characterized by a conservative morphology, and all inhabit rock crevice...
