Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

Through the Sands of Time: Evolutionary History and Systematics of the Awl‐Headed Snakes (Colubridae: Lytorhynchus) in the Saharo‐Sindian Region

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The psammophilous colubrid genus Lytorhynchus is widely distributed in the deserts of the Saharo‐Sindian region and adjacent areas. The taxonomy of the genus and the number of recognised species have remained unstable since the last taxonomic revision in 1970, with differing views on the taxonomic status of L. gaddi and L. kennedyi.

The African Mole‐Rat Genus Cryptomys and Its Species: Distinct in Their Genes and Habitats

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTThe African mole‐rat genus Cryptomys comprises five morphologically cryptic lineages distributed across South Africa and in Zimbabwe, historically treated as subspecies of C. hottentotus (C. h. hottentotus, C. h. mahali, C. h. natalensis, C. h. pretoriae and C. h. nimrodi).

Tracing Ancient Migration Routes: Did <i>Gloydius</i> Pitvipers Disperse Across Paleo-Tibet Through Temperate and Subtropical Corridors? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated the evolutionary and biogeographic history of Himalayan and Hindu Kush Gloydius pitvipers by integrating time‐calibrated phylogenetic analyses with paleoclimatic reconstructions and species distribution modeling. Our results suggest an early Miocene origin in East and Southeast Asia, followed by westward dispersal across Paleo‐Tibet via
