PHYLOGEOGRAPHY, GENETIC DIVERSITY, AND POPULATION STRUCTURE OF NILE CROCODILE POPULATIONS AT THE FRINGES OF THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN DISTRIBUTION.

Phylogeography, genetic diversity, and population structure of Nile crocodile populations at the fringes of the southern African distribution.

Nile crocodiles are apex predators widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa that have been viewed and managed as a single species.A complex picture of broad and fine-scale phylogeographic patterns that includes the recognition of two species (Crocodylus niloticus and Crocodylus suchus), and the structuring of populations according to river basins h
