How small is too small? Genetic signatures from naturally small populations of a large island vertebrate, the Turks and Caicos Rock Iguana

Zachary A. Dykema, Glenn P. Gerber, Giuliano Colosimo, Mark E. Welch

This study examines genetic diversity and population structure in small island populations of the Turks and Caicos rock iguana, finding low genetic diversity but limited inbreeding and suggesting a low threshold for population persistence.

The impact of serial translocations on the genetic diversity of Anegada iguanas (Cyclura pinguis) in the British Virgin Islands

Giuliano Colosimo, Zachary A. Dykema, Mark E. Welch…·Glenn P. Gerber

This study examines the genetic diversity of Anegada iguanas after serial translocations, finding reduced genetic diversity despite demographic success.
