FIGURE 8. Evolutionary relationships in Lerista lizards with focus on taxa in the L. microtis complex. (A) Results from a phylogenetic analysis based on 133,163 base pairs across 940 restriction site-associated nuclear DNA (ddRAD) loci. (B) Results from an analysis based on 1,143 base pairs from the cytochrome b mitochondrial marker. (C) Map depicting the sampling localities of specimens included in the genetic analyses. For clarity, a maximum of three samples per taxon outside of the L. microtis complex is shown in each tree; to provide a reference of intra-taxon divergences across Lerista, these samples were selected to include the most divergent individuals within each taxon. Nodal bootstrap support values> 70 are indicated with a black dot. Information on genetic samples are provided in Table A3, appendix.
