Evidence for determinism in species diversification and contingency in phenotypic evolution during adaptive radiation
TLDR
The test of well-sampled phylogenies of four squamate groups that colonized the New World in the Late Oligocene suggests that the processes that drive diversification and disparification are not mechanistically linked, even among similar groups of taxa experiencing the same sources of EO.

Speciation with gene flow in whiptail lizards from a Neotropical xeric biome
TLDR
The results revealed a striking complex diversification pattern where the Northeast lineage originated as a founder effect from a few individuals located along the edge of the Southwest lineage that eventually expanded throughout the Caatinga.

Complex longitudinal diversification across South China and Vietnam in Stejneger's pit viper, Viridovipera stejnegeri (Schmidt, 1925) (Reptilia: Serpentes: Viperidae)
TLDR
Estimation of divergence time and ancestral area suggests that V. stejnegeri originated at ~6.0 Ma in the late Miocene on the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau, which closely matches the geological origin of the both islands.

Molecular phylogeography of white‐lipped tree viper (Trimeresurus; Viperidae)
TLDR
Both the interglacial expansion and the highly heterogeneous habitats resulting from the uplift of the Plateau played a joint role in shaping the present distribution and population structure of Trimeresurus albolabris.

The phylogenetic position and taxonomic status of the Rainbow Tree Snake Gonyophis margaritatus (Peters, 1871) (Squamata: Colubridae) .
TLDR
This work evaluates the taxonomic status of a rare Southeast Asian serpent, the Rainbow Tree Snake Gonyophis margaritatus (Squamata: Colubridae), by inferring a molecular phylogeny of 101 snake species and discusses three potential solutions towards eliminating polyphyly of the genus Rhadinophis.
