Colonization of North America Boosted the Diversification of Whiptail Lizards. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Teiids increased their diversification rates upon colonization of North America, which was associated with an ecological niche expansion toward drier areas. This increment in diversification was not shown to be associated with phenotypic traits, which suggests it was due to ecological opportunity and/or ecological release.
