Abstract

Laudakia nupta, with numerous local populations through Iran, is one of the most widely distributed species of the Genus Laudakia in Iran. Eight hundred and fifty nine bp of mitochondrial ND4-tRNALEU were sequenced and analyzed for 47 specimens of Laudakia nupta and three specimens of Laudakia melanura, as an out-group taxon. All specimens were collected during field work in Iran. Based on branch pattern of the phylogenetic trees and the amounts of genetic distances within and between major clades recovered in the analysis, we propose that the taxonomic status of Laudakia nupta, as a species complex in Iran, should be fundamentally revised. Based on our results, two clear geographically isolated clades could be distinguished; one nominate species (Laudakia nupta) distributed through southwest to eastern Iran, and the other consisting of the populations of western foothills of the Zagros Mountains. The morphological analysis would enable us to describe the latter populations as a new species.
伊朗Laudakia nupta (De Filippi, 1843) mtDNA、ND4-tRNALEU片段序列变异
Laudakia nupta在伊朗有许多当地种群,是伊朗Laudakia属中分布最广泛的物种之一。对47只猕猴桃(Laudakia nupta)和3只猕猴桃(Laudakia melanura)作为外群分类单元的标本进行了线粒体ND4-tRNALEU的859 bp序列分析。所有标本都是在伊朗实地工作期间收集的。基于系统发育树的分支模式和分析中恢复的主要分支之间的遗传距离,我们建议从根本上修改Laudakia nupta作为伊朗物种复合体的分类地位。根据我们的结果,可以区分出两个地理上孤立的分支;一个指定种(Laudakia nupta)分布在伊朗西南部到东部,另一个由扎格罗斯山脉西部山麓的种群组成。形态学分析将使我们能够将后一个种群描述为一个新种。
