David Vander PluymGUEST
... was able to get some and found that they were embedded, they were part of that group, um, which was really kinda cool to see.

David Vander PluymGUEST
Um, and I have the tissues for, I have sequencing for all 12 subspecies that have been described and are currently considered to be accepted.

David Vander PluymGUEST
Um, I haven't-- I just got back, uh, the last subspecies, though, less than a month ago, and I haven't had time to do the, the, put them into the pipeline.

David Vander PluymGUEST
Um, but the rest of them, so looking at populations of how they're related to each other, both with the mitochondrial DNA along with the nuclear DNA, uh, and being able to see the relationships and that there's three lar- main groups.

David Vander PluymGUEST
Um, you have miniatus is sort of on its own, and then you have the Central American clade, and then you have a South American clade, which is what previous work had shown as well.

David Vander PluymGUEST
So it was nice to see that the previous work and my work lined up, uh, pretty, pretty neatly.
