| Abstract: | Background Island populations are excellent model systems for studies of phenotypic, ecological and molecular evolution. In this study,
molecular markers of mitochondrial and nuclear derivation were used to investigate the evolution, structure and origin of
populations of the California slender salamander (Batrachoseps attenuatus) inhabiting the six major islands of San Francisco Bay, formed following the rising of sea level around 9,000 years ago. |
