Journal ArticleDOI
Parallel adaptive radiations in arid and temperate Australia: molecular phylogeography and systematics of the Egernia whitii (Lacertilia: Scincidae) species group
David G. Chapple,J. Scott Keogh +1 more
TL;DR: The genetic data suggest a single origin (presumably from a semiarid E. multiscutata-like ancestor) for the arid zone members of the Egernia whitii species group prior to the Plio-Pleistocene, probably during the late Miocene to early Pliocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global reptile assessment highlights shared conservation needs of tetrapods

TL;DR: In this paper , a comprehensive extinction risk assessment of reptiles is presented, which shows that at least 1,829 out of 10,196 species (21.1%) are threatened and represents 15.6 billion years of phylogenetic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex mating system and dispersal patterns in a social lizard, Egernia whitii
David G. Chapple,J. Scott Keogh +1 more
TL;DR: In contrast to the polygynous mating systems typically displayed by most reptilian taxa, long-term genetic monogamy appears to be widespread within a lineage of group-living Australian scincid lizards, the Egernia group as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the performance of anchored hybrid enrichment at the tips of the tree of life: a phylogenetic analysis of Australian Eugongylus group scincid lizards
Matthew C. Brandley,Matthew C. Brandley,Jason G. Bragg,Sonal Singhal,David G. Chapple,Charlotte K Jennings,Alan R. Lemmon,Emily Moriarty Lemmon,Michael B. Thompson,Craig Moritz +9 more
TL;DR: Although overall phylogenetic support was high throughout the Australian Eugongylus group phylogeny, there were nonetheless some conflicting or unresolved relationships, especially regarding the placement of Pseudemoia, Cryptoblepharus, and the relationships amongst closely-related species of Tasmanian Niveoscincus skinks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Know when to run, know when to hide: can behavioral differences explain the divergent invasion success of two sympatric lizards?
TL;DR: Together, the results suggest that while the two species have an equivalent “opportunity” for unintentional human-assisted transportation, several pre-existing behavioral traits may enhance the success of the delicate skink in negotiating the initial stages of the introduction process, and subsequent post-establishment spread.
