Slow worm, Anguis fragilis (Reptilia: Anguidae) as a species complex: Genetic structure reveals deep divergences
Original language description
Phylogenetic relationships of the Western Palearctic legless lizard genus Anguis were inferred based on mitochondrial DNA and nuclear protein-coding loci. A. cephallonica from the Peloponnese was confirmed as a valid species, the sister taxon to a cladecomprising all other evolutionary lineages, which were shown to represent three distinct species: (1) A. fragilis sensu stricto occurring in Western and Central Europe; (2) A. colchica distributed from the eastern Czech Republic and the Baltic region eastward to northern Iran; (3) A. graeca restricted to the southern Balkans. Intraspecific differentiation of A. colchica is discussed, and subspecific status of the Caucasian and Caspian populations is proposed. The uncovered genetic differences should betaken into account in all future biogeographical, morphological and ecological studies, as well as in conservation.
