A practical protocol for species delimitation using multi- and single-rate Poisson Tree Processes (mPTP) by Kapli et al.: buff.ly/1rxPNJk

This gives an open‑source workflow for large‑scale biodiversity assessment by DNA barcoding and mPTP, using Gallotia lizards as a case study.

🦎 Taxonomic revision of the genus 𝘿𝙤𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙖 (Reptilia: Squamata: Anguidae) with descriptions of four new species from China by Wang et al.: buff.ly/TvVNmLZ

This study combines morphology, morphometrics, and multilocus genetics for the revision of Asian glass lizards (𝘿𝙤𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙖) #TaxonomyTuesday

For #TaxonomyTuesday 🌺 Sumanon 𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘭. investigated the genus 𝘼𝙧𝙜𝙮𝙧𝙚𝙞𝙖, comprising 142 species across Asia and Madagascar. The genus exhibits high morphological variation, causing confusion in species delimitation. Read here: buff.ly/WKciV4K
