Estimating rates and patterns of morphological evolution from phylogenies: lessons in limb lability from Australian Lerista lizardsDOI: 10.1186/jbiol112 Abstract: Squamates (lizards and snakes) offer an exciting model system for research on the evolution of body form. A new phylogenetic study in BMC Evolutionary Biology of Australian lizards shows remarkable evolutionary lability in digit numbers among closely related species, but also highlights important challenges in this area.
