Genetic differentiation of the two subspecies of the smooth newt inhabiting Romania, Triturus vulgaris vulgaris and T.v. ampelensis (Urodela, Salamandridae) as revealed by enzyme electrophoresis.

Abstract excerpt

Starch gel electrophoresis was applied to quantify genetic variation and divergence in samples from Romanian populations of the nominal form of the smooth newt Triturus vulgaris and those of the endemic Romanian subspecies T.v. ampelensis, a population from a parapatric area was additionally included. All the samples had similar levels of genetic variation measured by the mean heterozygosity, proportion of...
