Phylogenetic partitioning of the third-largest vertebrate genus in the world, Cyrtodactylus Gray, 1827 (Reptilia; Squamata; Gekkonidae) and its relevance to taxonomy and conservation


	Number of species of Cyrtodactylus described per year. The trajectory of new species descriptions from 2000 to 20 September 2020, indicates that the true diversity of this genus is not yet calculable and that 48% of the newly described species during this period have come from Myanmar, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
