Recent developments in the field of phylogeny have led to the discovery of many species such as Lepidodactylus balioburius, which originate in Batan, Philippines. Some scientists believe that Lepidodactylus balioburius and another species in the Lepidodactylus genus, Lepidodactylus yami, are closely related based on phenotypes, or observable traits. [3][2]
