High genetic diversity among fossorial lizard populations (Anniella pulchra) in a rapidly developing landscape (Central California)

2009-02-01

Abstract excerpt

California is a biodiversity hotspot facing unbridled human population growth, especially in Central California. One of the poorly known, sensitive species in this area is the California legless lizard (Anniella pulchra), a fossorial worm-like reptile. We report mt and nuDNA sequences from 69 museum-vouchered samples of Anniella (A. pulchra and its sister species A. geronimensis) from 48 localities. Our genetic su...
