Phylogenetic relationships and species delimitation of bunchgrass lizards of the genus Sceloporus from Mexico with the description of a new species.

Abstract excerpt

Molecular data continue to serve as an invaluable tool to assess species limits and patterns of cryptic diversity, particularly in areas harboring high levels of biodiversity. The Sceloporus scalaris group, known as bunchgrass lizards, contains 13 described and one undescribed species distributed throughout high elevation biotas of Mexico. However, recent studies suggest that diversity in the group may be...
