Testing for hybridization and assessing genetic diversity in Morelet’s crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii) populations from central Veracruz

2012-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Among the loss of genetic diversity due to population declines, population fragmentation and habitat loss, hybridization also stands as a threat to Morelet’s crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii) populations. Genetic surveys in Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula have detected evidence of hybridization with the American crocodile (C. acutus). Admixture between these two species is most likely driven by human-mediated tran...
