Should I stay or should I go? Dispersal and population structure in small, isolated desert populations of West African crocodiles.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Velo-Antón Guillermo, Godinho Raquel, Campos João Carlos, Brito José Carlos

Abstract excerpt

The maintenance of both spatial and genetic connectivity is paramount to the long-term persistence of small, isolated populations living in environments with extreme climates. We aim to identify the distribution of genetic diversity and assess population sub-structuring and dispersal across dwarfed desert populations of Crocodylus suchus, which occur in isolated groups, usually less than five individuals, along...
