Abstract excerpt
Within the Balkan Peninsula, topographic and climatic agents have promoted biodiversity and shaped the speciation history of many ectotherms. Here, we targeted an iconic European reptile, the nose-horned viper species-complex (Vipera ammodytes), and explored its spatial and temporal evolution. We (i) utilized genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms to infer genetic structure and build a time-calibrated...
