Article: Data on molecular ecology discussed by R. Godinho and colleagues.(Report)

"Phylogeographic analyses based on the sole use of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule reveal only a small part of the evolutionary history of a species or a set of related species. In this study, we have combined the application of slow- and fast-evolving nuclear markers (proteins and microsatellites, respectively) together with the analysis of two-gene genealogies to further understand the history of the Iberian endemic Schreiber's green lizard, Lacerta schreiberi, a species for which a well established phylogeographical scenario is available," scientists in Portugal report.

"In sharp contrast with the observation of four divergent and almost allopatric ...
