FIGURE 1 in Revising the taxonomy of Darevskia valentini (Boettger, 1892) and Darevskia rudis (Bedriaga, 1886) (Squamata, Lacertidae): a Morpho-Phylogenetic integrated study in a complex Anatolian scenario

FIGURE 1. Map showing both the localities of populations examined in morphology part and the possible distribution range for each taxa. Only the Turkish areas of the taxa are depicted. Numbers refer to population codes (Map ID) given in Appendix 1. Colors are lineage-specific which were identified in phylo-trees (see Figure 9).

FIGURE 3 in Revising the taxonomy of Darevskia valentini (Boettger, 1892) and Darevskia rudis (Bedriaga, 1886) (Squamata, Lacertidae): a Morpho-Phylogenetic integrated study in a complex Anatolian scenario

FIGURE 3. The three-dimensional representation of MALE centroids (bidimensional of samples and centroids in Fig 2) shows the MST (Minimum Spanning Tree) superimposed on the three-dimensional representation of the position of the centroids. The three axes together explain 89.1 % of all the variability. This MST can be considered equivalent to an unrooted NJ and connects each centroid with its closest relative. See text for explanation.

FIGURE 6 in Revising the taxonomy of Darevskia valentini (Boettger, 1892) and Darevskia rudis (Bedriaga, 1886) (Squamata, Lacertidae): a Morpho-Phylogenetic integrated study in a complex Anatolian scenario

FIGURE 6. The three-dimensional representation of FEMALE centroids (bidimensional of samples and centroids in Fig 5) shows the MST (Minimum Spanning Tree) superimposed on the three-dimensional representation of the position of the centroids. The three axes together explain 88.4 % of all the variability. This MST can be considered equivalent to an unrooted NJ and connects each centroid with its closest relative. See text for explanation.

FIGURE 7 in Revising the taxonomy of Darevskia valentini (Boettger, 1892) and Darevskia rudis (Bedriaga, 1886) (Squamata, Lacertidae): a Morpho-Phylogenetic integrated study in a complex Anatolian scenario

FIGURE 7. UPGMA tree derived from the matrix of distances (Table 1) among FEMALE samples, as in the males one, shows three groups: a basal one, well different, with D. bithynica (inc. ssp. tristis), and two more closer groups that include the former rudis and valentini-complexes. See the text for an explanation of the results. The tree, derived from the calculation of ultrametric distances calculated in UPGMA, reflects very well the relationships in respect to the original distanced matrix (see Table 1). Its Cophenetic Correlation Index, r = 0.94, shows that the obtained dendrogram has a very good fit (r> 0.9; Rohlf 2000).
