Genetic differentiation reflects geological history in the Azorean land snail, Leptaxis azorica.

Heredity - 1 Sept 2003

Van Riel P, Jordaens K, Verhagen R, Frias Martins A M, Backeljau T

Abstract excerpt

The land snail Leptaxis azorica, endemic on the Azores, was subjected to an electrophoretic (allozymes) and morphometric (genital tract) analysis. Genetic distances suggest the presence of four distinct lineages and are compatible with colonisation proceeding from the eastern, older islands (Santa Maria and São Miguel) to the west (Flores and Corvo). On São Miguel, genetic and morphometric differentiation is...
