Phylogenomics reveal species limits and inter-relationships in the narrow-range endemic lycian salamanders.

Abstract excerpt

Salamanders of the genus Lyciasalamandra are represented by as many as 20 narrow-range endemic taxa inhabiting the Mediterranean coast of Turkey and a handful of Aegean Islands. Despite recent molecular phylogenetic studies, the genus is rife with uncertainty about the number of contained species and their phylogenetic relationships, both of which can interfere with needed conservation actions. To test species...
