The desert vipers of the genus Cerastes are a small clade medically important venomous snakes within family Viperidae. According to published morphological and molecular studies, group is comprised by four species: two morphologically similar phylogenetically sister taxa, African horned viper (Cerastes cerastes) Arabian gasperettii); more distantly related species, Saharan sand vipera), enigmatic Böhme's boehmei), only known from single specimen in captivity allegedly captured Central...
Abstract In this study we aimed to clarify the identity of a wall lizard population that deviates phenotypically from other Podarcis lizards occur in broader area (Athens, Greece). To end used molecular techniques. Most surprisingly, identified focal as vaucheri , species far away its natural range. Molecular results suggest an Iberian origin population. best our knowledge, is first report P. outside original The new should be attributed human-mediated introduction. future interaction...
We investigated the evolutionary relationships between taxa in butterfly genus Iolana Bethune-Baker, 1914 and others subtribe Scolitantidina using information from nine DNA markers (COI-COII, ND1, ITS2, 28S, CAD, EF-1α, wg, H3). show that originated about 10 mya Central Asia gradually expanded to west reach Europe 5 mya. then compared our inferred phylogeny with of larval host plants Colutea, reconstructed three (ITS, matK, rpl32). Although plant was weakly resolved, close spatiotemporal...
Abstract The lacertid wall lizards of the genus Podarcis (Wagler, 1830) originate from Western Europe and are divided into 24-25 species (Speybroeck et al., 2020). Despite abundance phylogenetic studies referring to genus, relationships among certain species, as well taxonomic status some genealogical lineages, remain unclear due great genetic diversity. common lizard muralis has a relatively wide distribution despite existence various molecular focused on this its Greek populations had...
