Biogeographic origins of goannas (Varanidae): a molecular perspective.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Apr 1998

Fuller S, Baverstock P, King D

Abstract excerpt

This project aims to clarify the phylogenetic relationships among the extant species of Varanus in order to elucidate the origins of Varanidae, using DNA sequences. Results obtained for a minimum of 662 nucleotides of 12S rRNA sequence data from each of 21 extant species of Varanus indicate that...
