MANRIQUEZ-MORAN, Norma L.  e  MENDEZ-DE LA CRUZ, Fausto R.. Genetic homogeneity between two populations of the parthenogenetic lizard Aspidoscelis cozumela. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2008, vol.79, n.2, pp.421-426. ISSN 2007-8706.

We used skin-grafting to assess the genetic variability between 2 populations of the parthenogenetic lizard Aspidoscelis cozumela. We transplanted 238 skin fragments among individuals of 2 coastal populations at Cozumel Island. Grafts belonging to individuals that survive more than 60 days suggested genetic homogeneity between both populations, consistent with the existence of only 1 clone within this unisexual species.

Palavras-chave : histocompatibility; parthenogenesis; skin-grafting; Cozumel.
