Phylogeographic analyses point to long-term survival on the spot in micro-endemic Lycian salamanders.

Phylogeographic analyses point to long-term survival on the spot in micro-endemic Lycian salamanders.

Lycian salamanders (genus Lyciasalamandra) constitute an exceptional case of micro-endemism of an amphibian species on the Asian Minor mainland. These viviparous salamanders are confined to karstic limestone formations along the southern Anatolian coast and some islands. We here study the genetic di...
