Abstract
Alien species are among the greatest threats to biodiversity, but the evolutionary origins of invasiveness remain obscure. We conducted the first range-wide sampling of Hemidactylus mabouia from >120 localities across Africa, Madagascar and the Neotropics to understand the evolutionary history of one of the most widely distributed, invasive vertebrates in the world. We used a multi-locus phylogeny, species delimitation, fossil-calibrated timetree, ancestral area reconstruction and species distribution models to determine how many species-level lineages are contained within H. mabouia, the timing and tempo of diversification, and the origins of commensality? providing insights into the evolutionary origins of invasiveness. ?Hemidactylus mabouia? originated in the Miocene in the Zambezian biogeographic region and includes 20 species-level lineages, of which only Hemidactylus mabouia sensu stricto is invasive and widely distributed, including all Neotropical records. Zambezia is the hotspot for diversity within the group with 14 species in southeastern Zambezia. Species distribution models suggests that H. mabouia was able to establish in the Neotropics due to habitat suitability and globalization and the slave trade likely allowed it to cross the Atlantic. Models for the H. mabouia complex overpredicted the range of the invasive H. mabouia sensu stricto ? highlighting the importance of taxonomy in invasive species management.
