This study examines how recent speciation influences phylogenetic diversity patterns across tetrapod clades, finding a negative relationship between speciation rates and phylogenetic diversity.

This study integrates genomic and biogeographic analyses to show that hyper-aridity shaped reptile diversity in the Arabian Hajar Mountains through vicariance events linked to paleoclimate shifts.

The paper evaluates species delimitation methods in the Arabian gecko Trachydactylus hajarensis using genomic data, finding that current gene flow is scarce and validating that no new species exist within the group.

The paper examines how habitat-based allometric trends and trait integration shape body size and shape diversity in Pristurus geckos, finding that phenotypic evolution follows allometric lines of least resistance.

The paper examines morphological diversification in geckos, finding that ecological specialization, not island colonization, drives body size and shape evolution in Pristurus.

This study investigates factors driving variation in desert lizard diversity globally, finding no strong support for evolutionary time or speciation rate, but mixed environmental influences.

This study reconstructs the biogeographic history of Afro-Arabian squamates to identify events shaped by geologic and climatic factors beyond standard models.
