Intraspecific hybridisation of an invasive lizard on Lord Howe Island

Abstract: Human-mediated dispersal of animals often acts to bring populations that have been separated for substantial periods of evolutionary time (e.g. millions of years) in their native range into contact in their introduced range. Whether these taxa successfully interbreed in the introduced range provides information on the strength of reproductive isolation amongst them. The invasive delicate skink (Lampropholis delicata) has been accidentally introduced to Lord Howe Island from four genetically divergent (>2 mi… Show more

“…In reptiles, the density of ventral scales has been linked to climatic variation, including for Anolis (Thorpe, 2017), and preliminary data from the Iguana iguana complex suggests a potentially similar relationship (van den Burg et al, in prep). Hybridization with or among non-native species occurs in numerous systems and provides opportunities to study potential selection and adaptive introgression (Whitney & Gabler, 2008; Schulte et al, 2012; Chaplin et al, 2022; DeVos et al, 2023). This is especially because the range of green iguanas includes multiple geographic and climatic regions and the species’ multi-origin populations present throughout the Caribbean could provide insights into these processes.…”
