Cryptic diversity and non-adaptive radiation of montane New Guinea skinks (Papuascincus; Scincidae).

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 May 2020

Abstract excerpt

New Guinea, the world's largest and highest tropical island, has a rich but poorly known biota. Papuascincus is a genus of skinks endemic to New Guinea's mountain regions, comprising two wide-ranging species and two species known only from their type series. The phylogeny of the genus has never been examined and the relationships among its species - as well as between it and closely related taxa - are hitherto...
