Phylogeographic breaks and how to find them: An empirical attempt at separating vicariance from isolation by distance in a lizard with restricted dispersal

This study investigates phylogeographic breaks in a lizard species, finding that genetic discontinuities may result from both vicariance and isolation by distance, with limited power to distinguish between them using nuclear markers.

Colour polymorphism and conspicuousness do not increase speciation rates in Lacertids

This study finds that conspicuous coloration and color polymorphism in Lacertids do not correlate with increased speciation rates, contradicting some previous hypotheses about morphic speciation.

Looking for mimicry in a snake assemblage using deep learning

This study uses deep learning to quantify Batesian mimicry in Western Palearctic snakes, finding 8% of non-venomous species are potential mimics.
