Morphological Homoplasy, Life History Evolution, and Historical Biogeography of Plethodontid Salamanders Inferred from Complete Mitochondrial Genomes

The evolutionary history of the largest salamander family (Plethodontidae) is characterized by extreme morphological homoplasy. Analysis of the mechanisms generating such homoplasy requires an independent molecular phylogeny. To this end, we sequenced 24 complete mitochondrial genomes (22 plethodont...
