Determination of genetic diversity within the insular lizard Podarcis tiliguerta using mtDNA sequence data, with a reassessment of the phylogeny of Podarcis D.J. Harris 1 , C. Pinho 1 , M.A. Carretero 1 , C. Corti 2 , W. Böhme 3 Introduction Despite being the predominant reptile group in Southern Europe, the taxonomy of Podar- cis Wall lizards is both complex and unstable. Recent attempts to estimate a phylogeny for the genus using molecular methods have been largely unsuccessful, with many poorly resolved nodes and widely different estimates from dif- ferent studies (Harris and Arnold, 1999; Oliv- erio et al., 2000; Poulakakis et al., 2003). One possible reason for this is that presently ac- cepted forms may well be species complexes — Podarcis hispanica ∗ (Steindachner, 1879) contains several highly genetically distinct lin- eages all of which may deserve species status based on mitochondrial (Harris and Sa-Sousa, 2002; Harris et al., 2002) and protein elec- trophoretic data (Pinho et al., 2003). Podarcis erhardii (Bedriaga, 1882) is also probably a species complex (Poulakakis et al., 2003), Po- darcis sicula and Podarcis melisellensis contain considerable genetic diversity (Podnar et al., 2004, 2005) although Podarcis lilfordi (Günter, 1 - Centro de Investigação
