Phylogenetic relationships among the Asian tortoises of the genus Indotestudo (Reptilia: Testudines: Testudinidae)

Based on variation in 1094 bp of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene among members of the genus Indotestudo from southern Asia ( I. elongata ), south-western India ( I. travancorica ), and eastern Indonesia ( I. forstenii ), I. travancorica is most similar genetically to I....
