investigating the genetic variation of tokay geckos. One of these
techniques is multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. This has been
successfully used to explore the genetic variation, genetic differentiation,
and population genetics of the sympatric geckos, i.e.
Gekko tawaensis and Gekko japonicus in Japan (Toda et al 2003; Toda
et al 2006) and the Australian Oedura marmorata complex (Oliver
et al 2014) among others. In order to obtain a better understanding
of the systematic and taxonomic status of red-spotted G. gecko
in Southeast Asia, the intrapopulation and interpopulation genetic
variation and genetic structure of populations collected from
different localities in Thailand, Lao People’s Democratic Republic,
and Cambodia were determined with multilocus enzyme
electrophoresis.
