Biochemical assessment of evolution and taxonomy of the morphologically poorly diverged geckos, Gekko yakuensis and G. hokouensis (Reptilia: Squamata) in Japan, with special reference to their occasional hybridization

2001-05-01

Abstract excerpt

We assessed the validity of two gekkonid species, Gekko yakuensis and G. hokouensis, in southern Japan. We first assigned all 398 specimens into 18 samples merely on the basis of localities. By conducting significance test for deviations of genotype frequencies from Hardy-Weinberg at 11 allozyme loci, we checked the reproductive unity of constituents in each of those local samples, and where necessary, rearranged...
