Mitochondrial DNA | ||||
Population | N | N. of haplotypes | H | |
Cerro Fatal | 107 | 5 | Mean±SD | 0.30±0.05 |
La Reserva | 117 | 21 | Mean±SD | 0.85±0.02 |
Measures of genetic diversity for the Cerro Fatal and La Reserva Galápagos tortoise populations based on a 690 bp fragment of the mtDNA control region. N = number of individuals analyzed. h = haplotypic diversity. SD = standard deviation.
