A biogeographical profile of the sand cockroach Arenivaga floridensis and its bearing on origin hypotheses for Florida scrub biota
Lamb, Trip; Justice, Teresa C.; Brewer, Michael S.; Moler, Paul E.; Hopkins, Heidi; Bond, Jason E. (2017-12-11)Florida scrub is a xeric ecosystem associated with the peninsula’s sand ridges, whose intermittent Pliocene–Pleistocene isolation is considered key to scrub endemism. One scrub origin hypothesis posits endemics were ... -
Digits lost or gained? Evidence for pedal evolution in the Dwarf salamander complex (Eurycea, Plethodontidae)
Lamb, Trip; Beamer, David A. (2012-05-23)Change in digit number, particularly digit loss, has occurred repeatedly over the evolutionary history of tetrapods. Although digit loss has been documented among distantly related species of salamanders, it is relatively ... -
Genetic variation corroborates sub specific delimitation in the Namib fog-basking beetle, Onymacris unguicularis (Haag) (Tenebrionidae, Coleoptera)
Lamb, Trip; Pollard, Rachel; Bond, Jason E. (2013-11-20)The fog-basking beetle, Onymacris unguicularis (Haag, 1875), is currently listed as a polytypic form comprising two subspecies. A flightless substrate specialist, the beetleis endemic to vegetationless dunes in the Namib, ... -
A new species of Pionothele from Gobabeb, Namibia (Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Nemesiidae)
Bond, Jason E.; Lamb, Trip (2019-06-03)The mygalomorph spider genus Pionothele Purcell, 1902 comprises two nominal species known only from South Africa. We describe here a new species, Pionothele gobabeb sp. n., from Namibia. This new species is currently only ... -
