| Abstract |
|
The stripe-necked terrapins Mauremys caspica and M. rivulata are a sister species occupying a similar ecological niches and occurring in more or less mutually exclusive parapatric distribution ranges. The ranges of the two species are forming a narrow contact zone over hundreds of kilometres. We used 13 quickly evolving microsatellite loci and five nuclear genes for gaining insights in gene flow and hybridization of 13 populations of M. caspica and 18 populations of M. rivulata from the contact zone and compared these to randomly chosen individuals from the whole distribution range of each species.
