Phylogenetic relationships within Bothrops neuwiedi group (Serpentes, Squamata): Geographically highly-structured lineages, evidence of introgressive hybridization and Neogene/Quaternary diversification

[Display omitted] •Molecular phylogeny based on mtDNA genes recovered monophyly of the B. neuwiedi group.•One species was monophyletic, the other seven were polyphyletic.•Four major lineages geographically highly structured were found.•At least three cryptic lineages were revealed.•Evidence suggests...
