Estimating the phylogeny of geoemydid turtles (Cryptodira) from landmark data: an assessment of different methods
Background In the last 20 years, a general picture of the evolutionary relationships between geoemydid turtles (ca. 70 species distributed over the Northern hemisphere) has emerged from the analysis of molecular data. However, there is a paucity of good traditional morphological characters that corr...
