A recent study combining multi-locus sequence data and morphological characters partially resolved the situation, identifying two new species in the southern part of the range in Morocco, but leaving an unresolved \u201cIbero-Moroccan\u201d clade containing much of the genetic and morphological diversity. Here we sequenced a mitochondrial marker for new samples from across much of the distribution. Our data notably increase the known ranges of various species and lineages found in Morocco, and indicate a divergent genetic lineage within one of the newly described species. While far greater numbers of genetic markers will be needed to resolve taxonomic questions, greater geographic sampling is also still needed both to delimit the species, and to identify regions where potential genetic admixture may occur.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/herpetozoa.37.e118175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,4]],"date-time":"2024-09-04T13:10:25Z","timestamp":1725455425000},"page":"281-286","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["New data on the diversity and distribution of lineages of the Acanthodactylus erythrurus species complex in North Africa derived from mitochondrial DNA markers"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5144-2421","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"D.
