20 Feb Genetic diversity of spiny-tailed iguanas

Posted at 13:51h in Research by

In collaboration with Carlos Hasbun we studied the phylogenetics and genetic diversity of Mesoamerican spiny-tailed iguanas using both fresh samples and formalin preserved museum specimens. These revealed 3 major genetic groups that corresponded to the Ctenosaura flavidorsalis, C. quinquecarinata and the recently described C. oaxaca species.
