“…We also observed that the most common mtDNA haplotype is found all over the species distribution. Geomorphological barriers such as rivers (e.g., Kaefer, Tsuji‐Nishikido, Mota, Farias, & Lima, 2013; Oliveira, Martinez, et al, 2018; Pellegrino et al, 2005) and mountain ranges (e.g., Firkowski, Bornschein, Ribeiro, & Pie, 2016; Oliveira, Gehara, et al, 2018; Shepard & Burbrink, 2008) are usually responsible for patterns of geographic structure in taxa resulting from speciation events. Climatic oscillations or climatic gradients may also act at different latitudes, altitudes, and ecotone zones, directly affecting the genetic structure of some widely distributed species and species pairs (e.g., Boana albopunctata , Prado, Haddad, & Zamudio, 2012; Ameivula ocellifera , Oliveira et al, 2015; Polychrus acutirostris , Fonseca et al, 2018; Lygodactylus klugei , Lanna et al, 2018).…”
