Description: This tree illustrates the phylogenetic relationships of the species in the genus Agkistrodon (Reptilia, Squamata, Serpentes, Viperidae, Crotalinae). It is based on data and trees published in the following - PARKINSON, C. L., K. R. ZAMUDIO, AND H. W. GREENE. 2000. Phylogeography of the pitviper clade Agkistrodon: historical ecology, species status and conservation of cantils. Molecular Ecology 9: 411-420. PARKINSON, C. L. , J. A. CAMPBELL, AND P. T. CHIPPINDALE. 2002. Multigene phylogenetic analysis of pitvipers, with comments on the biogeography. pp. 93-110. IN Schuett, G. W., M. Höggren, M. E. Douglas, and H. W. Greene ED. Biology of the Vipers. Eagle Mountain Publishing, L.C. Eagle Mountain, Utah. xii, 580 pp. ISBN 0-9720154-0 CASTRO, T. A. AND C. L. PARKINSON. 2006. Bayesian mixed models and the phylogeny of pitvipers (Viperidae: Serpentes). Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 39: 91-110. The following changes in the nomenclature have been made to reflect subsequent taxonomic revisions published in - BURBRINK, FRANK T. AND TIMOTHY J. GUIHER. 2014.
