Phylogenetic and Multivariate Analyses of Gekko smithii Gray, 1842 recover A New Species from Peninsular Malaysia and Support the Resurrection of G. albomaculatus (Giebel, 1861) from Sumatra

An integrative taxonomic analysis of Sundaic populations of Gekko smithii from the Thai-Malaya Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo recovered four deeply divergent mitochondrial lineages that are separated by major geographic barriers (mountains and seaways). Furthermore, they bear a number of concordant statistically significant differences in meristic and morphometric features, morphospatial separation in multivariate space, and discrete differences in color pattern.  Leer más.
