| the phylogeography of the gecko cyrtopodion kotschyi (reptilia: gekkonidae) in the aegean archipelago. | cyrtopodion kotschyi is a small gecko, widely distributed on the islands of the aegean archipelago and the adjacent mainland. we unveiled the phylogeography of the species by using a portion of the cytochrome oxidase i mitochondrial dna gene from 35 insular and mainland populations. the distinct geographic distribution of the major clades of the phylogenetic tree and its topology suggest a spatial and temporal sequence of phylogenetic separations that coincide with some major paleogeographical s ... | 2005 | 15878130 |
