| 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 |
| raillietiella morenoi sp. n. (pentastomida) from gallotia atlantica (peters and doria, 1882) (lacertidae) in the canary islands. | raillietiella morenoi sp. n., a new cephalobaenid pentastomid found in the lungs of gallotia atlantica collected in the canary islands, is described. the new species belongs to the sharp-tipped posterior-hook type. the annulus number, morphology, and dimensions of copulatory spicules and the dimensions of anterior and posterior hooks separate raillietiella sp. n. from the other raillietiedid sharp-tipped posterior-hook species of small lizard parasites in africa. the host character of endemic pr ... | 2006 | 16380839 |
| recent volcanism and mitochondrial dna structuring in the lizard gallotia atlantica from the island of lanzarote. | the phylogeography of the lacertid lizard gallotia atlantica from the small volcanic island of lanzarote (canary islands) was analysed based on 1075 bp of mitochondrial dna (mtdna) sequence (partial cytochrome b and nd2) for 157 individuals from 27 sites (including three sites from neighbouring islets). levels of sequence divergence were generally low, with the most distant haplotypes separated by only 14 mutational steps. mtdna divergence appears to coincide with formation of the middle pleisto ... | 2008 | 18179441 |
| a new anoplocephalid (cestoda: cyclophyllidea) from gallotia atlantica (reptilia, lacertidae) in the canary islands, spain. | a new species of anoplocephalid cestode is described from gallotia atlantica (reptilia, lacertidae) on the canary islands, spain. oochoristica feliui n. sp. belongs to the group of oochoristica spp. having circular suckers and fewer than 25 testes in a single cluster: o. lygosomae burt, 1933; o. lygosomatis skinker, 1935; o. elongata dupouy et kechemir, 1973; o. jonnesi bursey, mcallister and freed, 1997; o. junkea johri, 1950; o. macallisteri bursey and goldberg, 1996; o. novaezelandae schmidt ... | 2009 | 19090647 |
