Whole-genome sequencing confirms multiple species of Galapagos giant tortoises

S. J. Gaughran, R. Gray, M. Jones, N. Fusco, A. Ochoa, J. M. Miller, N. Poulakakis, K. de Queiroz, A. Caccone, E. L. Jensen

This paper uses whole-genome sequencing and coalescent methods to show that Galapagos giant tortoises form a species complex with at least 9 species, challenging previous single-species classifications.
