| Abstract |
|
Nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene demonstrate that Cuora trifasciata and Mauremys iversoni, or Mauremys mutica and Mauremys pritchardi, respectively, form closely related species pairs. Furthermore, all four taxa together with Chinemys reevesii form a monophyletic group. Since mitochondrial genes are inherited maternally, it is not possible to gain unequivocal evidence for a putative hybrid status for M. iversoni or M. pritchardi initially suspected because of morphological similarities. Genomic fingerprinting with Inter-Simple-Sequence-Repeat profiles provides good evidence that M. iversoni is a hybrid between Cuora trifasciata and M. mutica and M. pritchardi between M. mutica and Chinemys reevesii
