Phylogeny within the genus Phrynocephalus is not well understood yet. There is a lack of data and controversy between opinions regarding both phylogenetic relationships and species vs. subspecies status of the different forms Phrynocephalus helioscopus and Phrynocephalus persicus, also called the “helioscopus-persicus complex”. The most recent works[which?] suggest evidence supporting both. In 2008, Melnikov et […] read more
