Figure 1. The top graph shows the relationship between Tajima’s Dregressed on latitude across squamates. The bottom graph shows the distribution of Tajima’s D among squamates. For both graphs, the pink color represents the full dataset of 418 taxa and the blue color represents the reduced dataset of 143 taxa, filtering out species with less than 10 individuals.
