Figure 2 in The Zagros Mountains acting as a natural barrier to gene flow in the Middle East: more evidence from the evolutionary history of spiny-tailed lizards (Uromasticinae: Saara)

Figure 2. The phylogenetic tree of the Uromasticinae subfamily, including the genera Saara and Uromastyx, based two mtDNA (Cytb and 16S) and one nDNA (ACM4) genes. The trees showed the same topologies for both ML and BI trees, and therefore, only the BI tree is presented. The ML bootstrap values and BI posterior probabilities are next to the nodes, respectively.

Figure 5. The biogeographic analysis of Saara with S-DIVA (A) and BBM (B) based on Cytb. For these analyses, three regions were considered: (A: blue nodes) the Mesopotamian plain [or western part of Zagros Mountains (WZM); distribution of S. loricata], (B: green nodes) the central Iranian Plateau [or eastern part of Zagros Mountains (EZM); distribution of S. asmussi] and (C: pink nodes) India/Pakistan (IP); distribution of S. hardwickii. The dark blue and dark green circles around nodes show dispersal and vicariance events, respectively.

Figure 1. Geographical distribution range of the genus Saara. The grey circles represent distribution points (the points were obtained from valid references e.g. GBIF, reptile database, etc.) and black circles refer to locations of samples that were used in the genetic analyses. Distribution ranges of S. loricata, S. asmussi and S. hardwickii are illustrated with blue, green and pink cross-hatches, respectively.
