Data from: Genetic and ecogeographic controls on species cohesion in Australia's most diverse lizard radiation

<p>Species vary extensively in geographic range size and climatic niche breadth. If range limits are primarily determined by climatic factors, species with broad climatic tolerances and those that track geographically widespread climates should have large ranges. However, large ranges might increase the probability of population fragmentation and adaptive divergence, potentially decoupling climatic niche breadth and range size. Conversely, ecological generalism in widespread species might lead to higher gene flow across climatic transitions, increasing species' cohesion and thus decreasing genetic isolation-by-distance (IBD). Focusing on Australia's iconic <em>Ctenotus</em> lizard radiation, we ask whether species range size scales with climatic niche breadth and the degree of population isolation. To this end, we infer independently evolving operational taxonomic units (OTUs), their geographic and climatic ranges, and the strength of IBD within OTUs based on genome-wide loci from 722 individuals spanning 75 taxa. Large-ranged OTUs were common and had broader climatic niches than small-ranged OTUs; thus, large ranges do not simply result from passive tracking of widespread climatic zones. OTUs with larger ranges and broader climatic niches showed relatively weaker IBD, suggesting that large-ranged species might possess intrinsic attributes that facilitate genetic cohesion across large distances and varied climates. By influencing population divergence and persistence, traits that affect species cohesion may play a central role in large-scale patterns of diversification and species richness.</p>

Fig. 9. Phylogenetic trees inferred from maximum parsimony analyses. (A) Strict consensus of 16 equally parsimonious trees based on morphological characters (L 5 148; CI 5 0.77; RI 5 0.85). (B) Strict consensus of two equally parsimonious trees from combined analyses of morphology and molecular partitions (L 5 1868, CI 5 0.50, RI 5 0.45). The internal nodes are identified by letters (in circles) and the partitioned Bremer support indexes are listed in appendix 4 for each node. Bootstrap support values (.50%) and decay indexes are presented above and below branches, respectively. The inset includes Caparaonia itaiquara and its closest relatives.
