Species delimitation using Bayes factors: simulations and application to the Sceloporus scalaris species group (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae).
Current molecular methods of species delimitation are limited by the types of species delimitation models and scenarios that can be tested. Bayes factors allow for more flexibility in testing non-nested species delimitation models and hypotheses of individual assignment to alternative lineages. Here, we examined the efficacy of Bayes factors in delimiting species through simulations and empiric...
متن کاملDelimiting species: comparing methods for Mendelian characters using lizards of the Sceloporus grammicus (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae) complex.
Species form the fundamental units of analysis in many areas of biology and, therefore, rigorous delimitation of this unit is important to a broad array of researchers. Recently, many new empirical methods have been proposed to delimit species in nature, and a large literature exists on the theoretical merit and superiority of each method. However, few empirical studies actually compare the res...

متن کاملSpecies Limits, Phylogenetic Relationships, and Origins of Viviparity in the Scalaris Complex of the Lizard Genus Sceloporus (Phrynosomatidae: Sauria)
We electrophoretically assayed 32 gene loci in the Sceloporus scalaris complex. We sampled 208 animals from 22 localities representing the following: Sceloporus aeneus (12 localities), S. bicanthalis (five localities), S. chaneyi (one locality), S. goldmani (one locality), and S. scalaris samcolemani (two localities), and we used Sceloporus parvus and S. variabilis as outgroups. Of the 32 gene ...
متن کاملIsolation of Microsatellite Loci in Sceloporus grammicus (Squamata, Phrynosomatidae)
The mesquite lizard (Sceloporus grammicus) exhibits multiple Robertsonian chromosomal rearrangements (mainly centric fissions) resulting in several cytotypes. In a transitional environment from oak-pine forests to a drier xeric habitat in central Mexico, two cytotypes (F5: 2n = 34 and FM2: 2n = 46) are known to hybridize. A partial genomic library was constructed from S. grammicus genomic DNA a...
