| phylogenetic relationships of the canary islands endemic lizard genus gallotia (sauria: lacertidae), inferred from mitochondrial dna sequences. | phylogenetic relationships among species and subspecies of the canary island endemic lizard genus gallotia are inferred based on nucleotide sequences of fragments of 12s ribosomal rna and cytochrome b mitochondrial genes. the four morphologically established species have also been recognized at the molecular level. relative affinities among species follow an eastern-western geographic transect. the nearly extinct species gallotia simonyi from the most western island of el hierro is closely relat ... | 1996 | 8812306 |
| evaluating reptile exposure to cholinesterase-inhibiting agrochemicals by serum butyrylcholinesterase activity. | blood samples from lizards (gallotia galloti) collected from two agricultural areas (las galletas and punta del hidalgo) and two reference areas on the island of tenerife (canary islands, spain) were analyzed for butyrylcholinesterase (bche) activity. serum bche activity was characterized first by in vitro experiments using selective substrates and inhibitors. of the total cholinesterase (che) activity, 74% could be attributed to bche activity. this portion of the total che activity was inhibite ... | 2003 | 12558160 |
