Photo of the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) used to generate the reference genome (A) and a range map (B) for S. occidentalis based on data from the Global Assessment of Reptile Distributions (Roll et al. 2017) with the location for the genome specimen indicated by the circle. Western fence lizards occupy habitat ranging from montane mixed conifer forest (C) to open woodland and grassland (D) to coastal scrub (E). Note the basking S. occidentalis on the log in the foreground of panel E.
