Morphology and genetic variation in the endangered tortoise Manouria emys: distinct lineages or plastron anomalies?

Anecdotal reports indicate the allopatric populations of two Manouria emys subspecies differ in colour variation and plastron pattern, intimating that these may constitute separate evolutionary lineages. We examined the studied taxa both morphologically and genetically to determine the described mor...
