FIGURE 9. Map of Madagascar showing the distribution of the evolutionary lineages of the Uroplatus ebenaui group. Only selected localities: (1) those mentioned in the text, (2) those for which molecular data are presented herein or are available from us (unpublished), and (3) Andringitra Massif which is the southernmost record of U. phantasticus vouchered by a DNA sequence (Raxworthy et al. 2008). The Zahamena locality for U. phantasticus bears a question mark due to the high genetic differentiation of this population, which leaves its actual specific identity in need of confirmation.

Bars in grey scale tones color code roughly for group clades in relation to elevation.

FIGURE 4. Boxplots showing variation in two meristic counts and two morphometric ratios in the specimens studied herein of all described species of the Uroplatus ebenaui group, plus the newly described U. fiera and the candidate species U. ebenaui [Ca1].

FIGURE 1 in A new leaf-tailed gecko of the Uroplatus ebenaui group (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from Madagascar's central eastern rainforests

FIGURE 1. Bayesian inference tree of the Uroplatus ebenaui group based on a 2313 bp fragment of four concatenated mitochondrial gene fragments (ND4, 12SrRNA, 16SrRNA, COX1). Only posterior probability values of 0.95 or greater are displayed at nodes. Shaded boxes indicate nominal species, undescribed candidate species reside outside such box. An outgroup (U. alluaudi) was used for rooting but omitted from the tree for graphical reasons. The inset map shows distribution of the new species U. fiera and related species; for more detailed distribution maps of all species of the U. ebenaui group refer to Ratsoavina et al. (2013).

FIGURE 3. Tails of specimens of all described species of the Uroplatus ebenaui group, plus the newly described U. fiera and the candidate species U. ebenaui [Ca1] (no voucher specimens or photos could be examined for U. ebenaui [Ca8] which is phylogenetically the closest lineage to U. fiera). All tails sized to scale (scale bar 2 mm). Female specimens are labelled with F in parentheses. All other specimens are males.

FIGURE 2. Median joining network reconstructed from haplotypes of a 400 bp fragment of the nuclear CMOS gene for the described species of the Uroplatus ebenaui group, plus the newly described U. fiera and its closest relatives, the candidate species U. ebenaui [Ca1] and [Ca8]. Haplotypes were inferred using the PHASE algorithm. After each species name, the haplotypes assigned to this species are listed. Bars and small black dots represent mutational steps and circle size refers to number of haplotype sequences involved and summarized at the bottom of the network diagram.

FIGURE 1 in Two new species of leaf-tailed geckos (Uroplatus) from the Tsaratanana mountain massif in northern Madagascar

FIGURE 1. Bayesian inference phylogenetic tree of the Uroplatus ebenaui group based on a 2313 bp alignment of four concatenated mitochondrial gene fragments (ND4, 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, COX1) (mtDNA). Only posterior probability values of 0.95 or greater are displayed at nodes. An outgroup (U. alluaudi) was used for rooting but omitted from the tree for graphical reasons. Note that the phylogenetic position of Uroplatus ebenaui [Ca8] from Ambohitantely is tentative, because only sequences of a single gene fragment were available from this sample. To the right of the tree is a haplotype network independently calculated from sequences of the nuclear gene CMOS showing concordant differentiation (absence of haplotype sharing) among the target species described herein and all nominal species of the U. ebenaui group.

FIGURE 3. Map of northern Madagascar, showing locality records of species of the Uroplatus ebenaui group for which locality records have been unambiguously confirmed with molecular evidence, based on data herein and in Ratsoavina et al. (2013) (which includes locality records verified from DNA sequences published by Raxworthy et al. 2008b). Note that the distribution of several species (U. fiera, U. malama, U. phantasticus) lies outside the range of the main map and is shown in the small inset map (upper right). See Ratsoavina et al. (2011) for detailed locality names. Colors do not correspond to those used in the phylogenetic tree (Fig. 1).
