The complete mitochondrial genome of the Critically Endangered Saba Green Iguana, Iguana iguana (Squamata: Iguanidae)

Figures & data

Figure 1. An adult Saba Green Iguana on Saba, with characteristic melanistic appearance for this population, especially between the tympanum and eye on the lateral side of the head. Photograph was taken on Saba during 2021, by Matthijs P. van den Burg.

Figure 2. Circular view of complete annotated Saba Green Iguana (Iguana iguana iguana) mitogenome (GenBank accession: OQ076335), with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region.

Figure 3. Maximum-likelihood phylogeny of aligned concatenated ribosomal and protein-coding mitochondrial loci (13.926 bp) from the Saba Green Iguana and 15 other Iguaninae taxa, performed in RAxML v. 8.0 (Stamatakis 2014) using the ML thorough bootstrap option with 1,000 replicates and 10 tree search runs. Numbers at nodes represent bootstrap support. GenBank accession numbers follow species names.
