Must ReadThis study compares responses to historical climate change in two lizards from the Wet Tropics, using spatial modeling, multi-locus phylogeography and phenotypic variation. Results suggest low dispersal and high persistence for both species across multiple isolated regions, and support the idea that isolated tropical montane species persist due to high resilience to climate change.
