    How can allopatric #speciation lead to the #radiation of #newspecies, and how can #research succeed in reconstructing such mechanisms? #Cryptic #complexes such as the #Hemiphyllodactylus #harterti-complex (#Gekkonidae) can be revealing.

    Z. Hong et al. (2026) #phylogenetically identified two new species by using the #mitochondrialgene #ND2. The #ancestral #population of the complex is thought to have diverged in the Middle #Oligocene and radiated from there throughout #Malaysia.

  7. Cyrtodactylus australotitiwangsaensis, a gecko spotted at Fraser's Hill, Malaysia, on 20 Nov 2018. Spotted during a guided walk at night.

    A close-up of the gecko's eye shows it's intricate iris pattern. Fascinating.
