Identification of a contact zone between oviparous and viviparous common lizards ( Zootoca vivipara) in central Europe: reproductive strategies and natural hybridization
The European common lizard, Zootoca vivipara, is one of the very few reptile species with two reproductive modes, viz. viviparity and oviparity. Oviparity in this otherwise viviparous form has been… Expand

Availability of new Bayesian-delimited gecko names and the importance of character-based species descriptions
Leache & Fujita [[1][1]] present an empirical example of Bayesian species delimitation (BSD; [[2][2]]) to recognize three new species of African geckos from within the range of the widespread taxon… Expand
