Colonization routes uncovered in a widely introduced Mediterranean gecko, Tarentola mauritanica (Squamata: Phyllodactylidae)

2023-05-30

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title><p>In this study, we aimed to understand the contemporary and ancient colonization routes of the Moorish gecko,<italic>Tarentola</italic><italic>mauritanica</italic>, using simple sequence repeats (SSRs). By analyzing the genetic diversity of populations in different regions, we found that Morocco is the genetic diversity hotspot for the species, followed by the Iberian Peninsula. However, h...
