This study uses migration-aware coalescent models to delimit species in fence lizards, finding fuzzy boundaries due to gene flow and introgression.

The paper examines the phylogeography of lizards in Baja California, identifying divergence events and range expansions, particularly in Callisaurus draconoides.

The paper investigates mitonuclear discordance in Tropidurus lizards, finding that ancient mitochondrial introgression and demographic processes explain the observed genetic mismatches.

The paper rebuts a critique by showing that re-analyzed data supports the original findings that the transmissible cancer in Tasmanian devils has transitioned to endemism.

The paper uses coalescent analyses to determine the timing and direction of hybrid zone formation in Plateau Fence Lizards, finding divergence around 140 kya and secondary contact around 10 kya.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for Sceloporus undulatus and evaluates its utility for genomic analysis across related species.

The paper presents two chromosome-scale genome assemblies of Sceloporus tristichus to study pericentric inversion polymorphisms in a hybrid zone.
