Colonization routes uncovered in a widely introduced Mediterranean gecko, Tarentola mauritanica
In this study, we aimed to understand the contemporary and ancient colonization routes of
the Moorish gecko, Tarentola mauritanica, using simple sequence repeats. By analyzing the …

Multilocus phylogeography of Italian Moorish geckos adds insights into the evolutionary history of European populations
Geckos of clade III of the Tarentola mauritanica species complex are widespread throughout

When selection deceives phylogeographic interpretation: The case of the Mediterranean house gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus (Linnaeus, 1758)
A previous study on Hemidactylus turcicus based on mtDNA makers indicated that this
gecko has a Middle-East origin, and that the current phylogeographic pattern is the result of …

One gecko's pain is another gecko's gain: is the Moorish gecko Tarentola mauritanica becoming invasive in France?
J Renet, T Dokhelar, N Dubos - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
The Moorish gecko Tarentola mauritanica is currently expanding around the Mediterranean
basin as a result of natural dispersal and anthropogenic spread. The species is observed at …

High genetic diversity despite the potential for stepping-stone colonizations in an invasive species of gecko on Moorea, French Polynesia
MA Tonione, N Reeder, CC Moritz - PLoS One, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Invasive species often have reduced genetic diversity, but the opposite can be true if there
have been multiple introductions and genetic admixture. Reduced diversity is most likely …
