Abstract
We analyse for the first time the genetic diversity within Ptyodactylus oudrii across the Maghreb. Two mitochondrial (12s rRNA and 16s rRNA) and two nuclear (C-mos and ACM4) markers are used. The results confirm the specific status of P. oudrii and show high levels of intraspecific variability, indicative of species complex. Lineages found are geographically concordant, and show similar patterns to that found in other species from the region. The study highlights once more the importance of the region as a source of genetic diversity.
