Evolution and biogeography of the genus Tarentola (Sauria: gekkonidae) in the Canary Islands, uinferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences

Sequences from fragments of the 12S ribosomal RNA and cytochrome b mitochon drial genes were used to analyze phylogenic relationships among geckos of genus Tarentola from the Canary Islands. A surprisingly high level of within island differentation was found in T. delalandii in Tenerife and T. boett...
