Abstract excerpt

The Serrated Hinge-back Tortoise Kinixys erosa inhabits moist forests across Central and West Africa and is known to show phylogeographic structure. Based on extended geographic sampling, we re-examined its phylogeography using three mitochondrial genes and up to 17 nuclear loci. The observed mtDNA variation was considerable and corresponds to two major and well-supported clades from the western and the eastern...
