Climate change drives speciation in the southern rock agama (Agama atra) in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa (2009, unknown): “However, for a more comprehensive analysis, a range of lower rates were also used (0.25% and 0.50% per lineage per Myr) and these rates were estimated directly from the p-distances and a dated phylogeny derived for the sister family to the Agamidae, the Chamaeleonidae (Tolley et al., 2008).”
Ancient forest fragmentation or recent radiation? Testing refugial speciation models in chameleons within an African biodiversity hotspot (2011, background): “closely related sister taxa) as a result of extinction filtering through a reduction in the extent and connectively of southern African forests in the Miocene (Tolley et al., 2008).”
