Microsatellite analysis of genetic divergence among populations of giant Galápagos tortoises.

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2002

Ciofi Claudio, Milinkovitch Michel C, Gibbs James P, Caccone Adalgisa, Powell Jeffrey R

Abstract excerpt

Giant Galápagos tortoises represent an interesting model for the study of patterns of genetic divergence and adaptive differentiation related to island colonization events. Recent mitochondrial DNA work elucidated the evolutionary history of the species and helped to clarify aspects of nomenclature. We used 10 microsatellite loci to assess levels of genetic divergence among and within island populations. In...
