Exploring mitochondrial diversity in the species-rich genus Liolaemus: the interplay between isolation by distance and environmental thermal variability

Abstract Intraspecific genetic variation enhances a species´ capacity to endure diverse environments. Such variation can drive genetic divergence among populations, often manifesting as isolation by distance (IBD). Here, we investigated how ecological, environmental, life-history, body size, and phylogenetic factors sh...
