Abstract The South American lizard genus Liolaemus comprises > 260 species, of which 60 are recognized as members the montanus group, distributed throughout Andes in central Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. Despite its great morphological diversity complex taxonomic history, a robust phylogenetic estimate is still lacking for this group. Here, we study molecular L. group present most complete quantitative hypothesis to date. Our phylogeny includes 103 terminal taxa, 91 (58 assigned...
Pragmatic methods to assess the status of biodiversity at multiple scales are required support conservation decision-making. At intersection several major biogeographic zones, Bolivia has extraordinary potential develop a monitoring strategy aligned with objectives Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON). Bolivia, GEO Observer since 2005, is already working adequacy national earth observations towards Global System Systems (GEOSS). However, still an...
We describe a new species of Liolaemus, belonging to the alticolor group, that was previously confused with L. walkeri. The inhabits inter-Andean dry valleys at two localities in department La Paz (Ananta and Jupapina), Bolivia. compared 11 morphologically similar taxa classified as part group. Our comparisons were based on external morphology included lepidosis, morphometry, meristic characters, color patterns. Liolaemus sp. nov. differs from other same group by unique dorsal coloration...
The Liolaemus montanus group is a diverse of lizards that ranges from central Peru to southwestern Mendoza, Argentina, including much the Plurinational State Bolivia ("Bolivia") and Chile. species this mainly inhabit high elevation areas with cold temperatures. In last years, several have been described, mostly in Argentina Bolivia, there are at least thirteen valid belonging L. group. study, we describe new marked endemism Cordillera de Sama Tarija Department, combination unique character...
The known diversity of the genus Liolaemus continues to increase, principally due its great degree endemism, increasing number researchers working on it, and advances in taxonomic phylogenetic knowledge genus. This positions as second most species-rich tetrapod present work adds evidence for through description two new species, endemic saline environments Argentinian Puna. Both species are members montanus group within subgenus Eulaemus. To determine status these lizards, we used integrative...
The southwestern Andes of Peru harbor a hidden taxonomic diversity reptiles. We describe new species Liolaemus Wiegmann (Iguania: Liolaemidae) from xerophytic environments the slopes Peru, 2,400-2,900 m asl. species, previously considered to be population L. insolitus Cei, exhibits unique diagnostic characters morphology, scalation and color pattern, molecular evidence that suggest it belongs in montanus group reichei clade. Moreover, is endemic eastern La Caldera batholith Department...
La revision rigurosa de especimenes del genero Liolaemus , depositados en la Coleccion Boliviana Fauna, permite ampliar distribucion especie endemica variegatus a mas 500 km al sur pais el departamento Tarija.
Liolaemus parthenos es la única especie unisexual en toda Pleurodonta. Se conjetura que esta lagartija partenogenética, sin embargo, su ciclo sexual y aspectos ecológicos anatómicos inherentes a reproducción son desconocidos. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue proporcionar información sobre progresión mensual las gónadas durante el período activo especie. describieron características anatómicas del tracto genital ejemplares con diferente condición reproductiva. L. estacional,...
