Population genetic structure of Aldabra giant tortoises.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Balmer Oliver, Ciofi Claudio, Galbraith David A, Swingland Ian R, Zug George R, Caccone Adalgisa

Abstract excerpt

Evolution of population structure on islands is the result of physical processes linked to volcanism, orogenic events, changes in sea level, as well as habitat variation. We assessed patterns of genetic structure in the giant tortoise of the Aldabra atoll, where previous ecological studies suggested population subdivisions as a result of landscape discontinuity due to unsuitable habitat and island separation....
