Digest: Whole genomes delimit multiple species of Galapagos giant tortoises.
Utilizing whole genome sequencing and multiple species delimitation models, Gaughran et al. (2025) show support for up to 13 distinct living Galapagos giant tortoise species, in contrast to the current classification of a single species. This result highlights the potential for rapidly radiating organisms on islands to act as model systems for investigating species boundaries, helping to settle taxonomic debates.
期刊介绍:
Evolution, published for the Society for the Study of Evolution, is the premier publication devoted to the study of organic evolution and the integration of the various fields of science concerned with evolution. The journal presents significant and original results that extend our understanding of evolutionary phenomena and processes.
