(2005) - Phylogeography of the Italian wall lizard, Podarcis sicula, as revealed by mitochondrial DNA sequences. - Molecular Ecology, 14: 575-588.  × In a phylogeographical survey of the Italian wall lizard,
Podarcis sicula
, DNA sequence
variation along an 887-bp segment of the cytochrome
b
gene was examined in 96 specimens
from 86 localities covering the distribution range of the species. In addition, parts of the
12S
rRNA
and
16S rRNA
genes from 12 selected specimens as representatives of more divergent
cytochrome
b
haploclades were sequenced (together about 950 bp). Six phylogeographical
main groups were found, three representing samples of the nominate subspecies
Podarcis sicula
sicula
and closely related subspecies and the other three comprising
Podarcis sicula
campestris
as well as all subspecies described from northern and eastern Adriatic islands.
In southern Italy a population group with morphological characters of
P. s. sicula
but with
the mitochondrial DNA features of
P. s. campestris
was detected indicating a probably
recent hybridization zone. The present distribution patterns were interpreted as the consequence
of natural events like retreats to glacial refuges and postglacial area expansions, but
also as the results of multiple introductions by man.
