we describe a global analysis of the genomes of Lonesome George—the iconic last member ofChelonoidis abingdonii—and the Aldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea). Comparison of these genomes with those of related species, using both unsupervised and supervised analyses, led us to detect linea...
The status of the Fernandina Island Galapagos giant tortoise (Chelonoidis phantasticus) has been a mystery, with the species known from a single specimen collected in 1906. The discovery in 2019 of a female tortoise living on the island provided the oppo
Seasonal and Site Variation in Angulate Tortoise Diet and Activity We do not know whether the availability of food plants is the primary factor enabling Angulate Tortoises to inhabit a wide variety of habitats along the so... QI Joshua,HBT Henen - 《Journal of Herpetology》 被引量: 68发表:...

2006). This is also supported by findings from previous SNP analyses in the Pinzón species of giant tortoise (Jensen et al. 2018a). In that study it was found that Ne estimates based on sample sizes above 60 individuals were relatively consistent. The comparison of SNP-based Ne estimates ...
However, here we report that a remote volcano in the Galápagos Islands hosts many giant tortoises with high ancestry from a species previously declared as extinct: Chelonoidis elephantopus or the Floreana tortoise. Of 150 individuals with distinctive morphology sampled from the volcano, genetic ...
“Ancient DNA” reveals that the scientific name for an extinct tortoise from Cape Verde refers to an extant South American species Introduction The extinct giant deerMegaloceros giganteus(also Irish Elk), first described by Blumenbach in 17991, stands out amongst the Pleistocene megafauna not only ...
Invasive giant knotweed (Fallopia sachalinensis) is native to northeastern Asia. In Korea, F. sachalinensis is confined to two volcanic islands, Ullung and Dok islands, where it occurs as dodecaploids (2n = 132). We investigated the molecular varia
