This study highlights the crucial interaction among coalescent-based phylogeography and species delimitation, systematics, and species diversification analyses. Lampropeltis triangulum commonly known as the milk snake or milksnake is a.

This discordance is further manifested in the preferred models of diversification, where the concatenated gene tree strongly supports an early burst of speciation during the Miocene, in contrast to species-tree estimates where diversification follows a birth-death model and speciation occurs mostly in the Pliocene and Pleistocene. Both genealogical and temporal discordance occurs between gene trees and the species tree, with evidence that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) introgression is a main factor. triangulum is not monophyletic and that there are multiple species of milksnake, which increases the known species diversity in the genus Lampropeltis by 40%. Our baby milk snakes range in size from 6 to 8 ' in length. Most of our milk snakes are bred here in house.

Milk Snakes are a great beginner snake and are very hardy. These are beautiful milk snakes due to their unique coloration. Coalescent species delimitation indicates that L. DESCRIPTION: We have a great selection of CB Andean Milk Snakes for Sale. Here, we examine how delimitation of previously unrecognized diversity in the milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum) and use of a species-tree approach affects both estimation of the Lampropeltis phylogeny and comparative analyses with respect to the timing of diversification. Although the theoretical impact of gene-tree discordance on evolutionary analyses has been examined previously, the effect of unsampled and cryptic diversity has not. The milk snake, (Lampropeltis triangulum) has yellow, red, and black stripes making it appear deadly like sea snakes. Both gene-tree discordance and unrecognized diversity are sources of error for accurate estimation of species trees, and can affect downstream diversification analyses by obscuring the correct number of nodes, their density, and the lengths of the branches subtending them.
