Phylogeography of the tree lizard, Urosaurus ornatus: responses of populations to past climate change
Abstract Isolation due to both geological barriers and range contractions during the Pleistocene glacial maxima has been an important cause of diversification of arid‐adapted species in the North American deserts. Tree lizards, Urosaurus ornatus , are distributed across much of the southwestern arid...

Abstract Isolation due to both geological barriers and range contractions during the Pleistocene glacial maxima has been an important cause of diversification of arid‐adapted species in the North American deserts. Tree lizards, Urosaurus ornatus , are distributed across much of the southwestern arid regions and can tolerate a wide range of environments.

Cytochrome b sequences were sampled from U. ornatus across the northern part of their range to test if current structure of these populations resulted from post‐Pleistocene range expansion and habitat fragmentation, or prior geological isolation. Phylogenetic analyses found geographical structuring of populations consistent with a model of long‐term geographical isolation corresponding to each of the desert regions.
