@article { , title = {Environmental temperatures shape thermal physiology as well as diversification and genome-wide substitution rates in lizards}, abstract = {© 2019, The Author(s). Climatic conditions changing over time and space shape the evolution of organisms at multiple levels, including temperate lizards in the family Lacertidae. Here we reconstruct a dated phylogenetic tree of 262 lacertid species based on a supermatrix relying on novel phylogenomic datasets and fossil calibrations. Diversification of lacertids was accompanied by an increasing disparity among occupied bioclimatic niches, especially in the last 10 Ma, during a period of progressive global cooling. Temperate species also underwent a genome-wide slowdown in molecular substitution rates compared to tropical and desert-adapted lacertids. Evaporative water loss and preferred temperature are correlated with bioclimatic parameters, indicating physiological adaptations to climate. Tropical, but also some populations of cool-adapted species experience maximum temperatures close to their preferred temperatures. We hypothesize these species-specific physiological preferences may constitute a handicap to prevail under rapid global warming, and contribute to explaining local lizard extinctions in cool and humid climates.}, doi = {10.1038/s41467-019-11943-x}, eissn = {2041-1723}, issue = {1}, journal = {Nature Communications}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Nature Publishing Group}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/2354487}, volume = {10}, keyword = {Specialist Research - Other, High Performance Computing (Hull Viper), Climate-change ecology, Conservation biology, Herpetology, Phylogenetics}, year = {2019}, author = {García-Porta, Joan and Irisarri, Iker and Kirchner, Martin and Rodriguez, Ariel and Kirchhof, Sebastian and Brown, Jason L. and MacLeod, Amy and Turner, Alexander P. and Ahmadzadeh, Faraham and Albaladejo, Gonzalo and Crnobrnja-Isailovic, Jelka and De la Riva, Ignacio and Fawzi, Adnane and Galan, Pedro and Göçmen, Bayram and Harris, D.
