Abstract

The black salamander, Salamandra lanzai, exists in isolated and fragmented populations in the Cottian Alps. To examine the degree of intra- and interpopulation divergence, mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences were obtained from samples representing all populations of S. lanzai. No genetic variation was observed either within or among populations. The presence of a single lineage suggests historical explanations closely related to Pleistocene events.
