Exceptional parallelisms characterize the evolutionary transition to live birth in phrynosomatid lizards

Exceptional parallelisms characterize the evolutionary transition to live birth in phrynosomatid lizards

There have been five independent transitions from egg laying to live birth in the phrynosomatid lizards. Here, Domínguez-Guerrero et al. identify parallel changes in physiology, life history and behaviour that characterize these transitions to live birth.
