Haplotype diversities (h) for the cytb, MC1R and RAG1 genes for four species of lizards from the Mojave National Preserve. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals around the point estimates of h. *Indicates statistically significantly higher diversities for comparisons between high- and low-density species based on confidence interval overlap (Cumming and Finch, 2005). An additional asterisk indicates statistically significantly higher diversities within high-density species.

Bigger population = more genetic diversity? Not always. Chuckwallas (S. ater) have smaller local populations than sympatric desert lizards, yet show comparable genetic diversity, suggesting selection, not just drift, shapes variation. doi.org/10.1038/hdy.... #2026MMM

"Majority Clade Credibility tree results from the partitioned Bayesian analyses of the concatenated data set (cytochrome b, MB, ODC) calibrated using three fossils. Numbers close to the nodes refer to maximum likelihood bootstrap support/concatenated beast posterior probabilities/species tree posterior probabilities. Values are indicated when at least one the three values was ≥70%, ≥0.95 or ≥0.95, respectively."

All 33 shrike species trace their roots to Africa ~8 million years ago, when C4 grasses exploded across the continent. Oh, and Magpie Shrikes? Just big Lanius. The first complete shrike phylogeny reveals Laniidae is basically one giant genus. doi.org/10.1111/zsc.... #2026MMM #RIP

Whew. #TeamOssifrrage #2026MMM
