Phylogenetic History, Morphological Parallelism, and Speciation in a Complex of Appalachian Salamanders (Genus: Desmognathus)

Understanding the mechanisms that generate shared morphologies across closely related taxa is important when identifying distinct evolutionary lineages using morphological characters. Desmognathus salamanders are an ideal group for testing hypotheses concerning the correlation between morphological...
