Mitochondrial sequence data for Peninsula Leaf-toed Geckos from southern California, USA (2018-2019)

Description

We amplifed and sequenced a 386 base-pair region of the mitochondrial protein-coding cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene to analyze genetic diversity from a new population of Peninsula Leaf-toed Gecko (Phyllodactylus nocticolus) in the Tranverse Range of southern California, USA. We compare these data with genetic data gathered from more southern populations of P. nocticolus from the Peninsular Ranges and determined that genetic diversity from the Tranverse Range population was distinct. These results provide support for a naturally occurring population in the Transverse Range of southern California.
