Flame-forged divergence? Ancient human fires and the evolution of diurnal and nocturnal lineages in moorish geckos Open
Using a multidisciplinary approach, we investigated whether human-controlled fire has historically influenced temporal niche partitioning between dark-diurnal and pale-nocturnal lineages of the Moorish gecko (Tarentola mauritanica). The pa…
