Geographic distribution of the reptiles’ genetic lineages delimited by ABGD program.
The thick black lines correspond to the suture zones of the deepest splits for each taxon. Dashed lines correspond to the geographical limits between lineages delimited by ABGD program. The ABGD lineages are represented by the coloured dots.

The thick black lines correspond to the suture zones of the deepest splits for each taxon. Dashed lines correspond to the geographical limits between lineages delimited by ABGD program. The ABGD lineages are represented by the coloured dots.

Acanthodactylus erythrurus Bayesian inference phylogenetic tree and geographic distribution of deep clades.
The green area in the map corresponds to the distribution of the eastern clade populations and the red area corresponds to the distribution of the western clade populations. The blue lineage is missing nodal support, its phylogenetic position is not resolved with the present data set.

Bayesian inference phylogenetic tree and geographic distribution of deep clades. Timon spp.
The reciprocal monophyly of E-W clades is not supported by any reconstruction method. However, the previous studies have shown that the Moroccan populations and the Tunisian ones are reciprocally monophyletic and highly supported (see references in the discussion).

A: Location of suture zones between deep E-W clades. B: Location of internal suture zones between ABGD groups. A: Coloured lines correspond to the disjunction between E and W clades. B: Coloured lines correspond to the limits between ABGD lineages. Red areas correspond to biogeographical refugia described by [36].
