Galapagos land iguanas as ecosystem engineers [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Background Declines of large-bodied herbivorous reptiles are well documented, but the consequences for ecosystem function are not. Understanding how large-bodied herbivorous reptiles engineer ecosystems is relevant given the current interest in ...

Tracing early stages of species differentiation: Ecological, morphological and genetic divergence of Galapagos sea lion populations [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Oceans are high gene flow environments that are traditionally believed to hamper the build-up of genetic divergence. Despite this, divergence appears to occur occasionally at surprisingly small scales.
