Molecular phylogeny of plated lizards. Shown is a parsimony tree based on full-length cytochrome b sequences. Numbers indicate bootstrap support and posterior probability scores for clades representing various species. Sampling localities are as follows: Northern Madagascar (N) 1, Ankarana; N2, Analamera; N3, Ambre; N4, Daraina. Northeastern Madagascar (NE) 1, Anjanaharibe-Sud; NE2, Antalaha; NE3, Betaolana; NE4, Marojejy; NE5, Tampolo. Northwestern Madagascar (NW) 1, Lokobe; NW2, Manongarivo; NW3, Ambanja; NW4, Ankarafantsika. Eastern Madagascar (E), Mantadia. Central Madagascar (C), Andranomay. South central Madagascar (SC) 1, Itremo; SC2, Vinanintelo; SC3, Manambolo; SC4 Vohipaha; SC5, Ivohibe; Western Madagascar (W) 1, Ambatomainty; W2, Bemaraha; W3, Ambohijanahary. Southeastern Madagascar (SE) 1, Petriky; SE2, Andohahela; SE3, Midongy-Sud. Southwestern Madagascar (SW) 1, Kirindy Mitea; SW2, Mike-Abrahama/Andalandomo/Ankotapike; SW3, Andotabo; SW4, Tsimanampetsotsa; SW5, Analavelona. Habitat abbreviations are: DF (dry forest); ERF (evergreen rainforest); WLS (woodland savannah); S (scrub and heath land), TF (transitional forest); SD (semideciduous forest); D (deciduous forest); GL (grass land); Er (ericoid forest). Sequences are deposited in the GenBank database under accession nos. DQ004403-DQ004461. (Adapted from A.P.R., K.P.K., and A.D.Y., unpublished work.)
