Species identification
[edit]Can anyone identify which species this is?

Looks like Sceloporus jarrovii to me. Lyttle-Wight (talk) 22:38, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
Phylogeny moved pending replacement.
[edit]I've removed the phylogeny section to the talk page (below) because it is pertains to only a few species (most formerly S. undulatus) and is not representative of the genus as a whole and its relation to other Phrynosomatids. More complete taxonomic discussion can be found in something like Wiens and Reeder 1997 or Wiens, John J. (2010). "Phylogenetic relationships of phrynosomatid lizards based on nuclear and mitochondrial data, and a revised phylogeny for Sceloporus" (PDF). Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution. 54 (1): 150–161. {{cite journal}}: Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help), which give more comprehensive coverage.--Animalparty-- (talk) 19:46, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
