WOS: 000484779500005, PubMed ID: 31501432, Climatic conditions changing over time and space shape the evolution of organisms at multiple levels, including temperate lizards in the family Lacertidae. Here we reconstruct a dated phylogenetic tree of 262 lacertid species based on a supermatrix relying on novel phylogenomic datasets and fossil calibrations. Diversification of lacertids was accompanied by an increasing disparity among occupied bioclimatic niches, especially in the last 10 Ma, during a period of progressive global cooling. Temperate species also underwent a genomewide slowdown in molecular substitution rates compared to tropical and desert-adapted lacertids. Evaporative water loss and preferred temperature are correlated with bioclimatic parameters, indicating physiological adaptations to climate. Tropical, but also some populations of cool-adapted species experience maximum temperatures close to their preferred temperatures. We hypothesize these species-specific physiological preferences may constitute a handicap to prevail under rapid global warming, and contribute to explaining local lizard extinctions in cool and humid climates., Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)German Research Foundation (DFG) [VE 247/11-1/MU 1760/9-1, VE 247/16-1-HO3492/6-1]; Juan de la Cierva fellowships from the Spanish 'Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad' [FJCI-2014-20380, IJCI-2016-29566]; 'Rita Levi Montalcini' program for recruitment of young researchers at the University of L'Aquila; US-National Science Foundation Emerging Frontiers program [EF-1241848]; Hassan II Academy of Sciences and Technologies (ICGVSA Project); Slovenian Research Agency Research Program [P1-0255]; Uppsala Multidisciplinary Center for Advanced Computational Science (UPPMAX) [SNIC 2017/7-275]; [NORTE-01-0145-FEDER-000007]; [ON173025 MESTD RS], We are grateful to numerous students, field assistants and technicians who supported field and laboratory work, and to G.
