These islets were classified as Integral Natural Reserves and further studies on the species are needed to outline more assertive conservation measures. Thus, this study aims to integrate for the first time genetic, morphometric and meristic data to test if there are significant differences between these two taxonomical groups that would support the subspecific designation. The results indicated that they are two closely related subspecies, with some visible differences in size and shape, possibly related to diet, habitat conditions or drift. Given the conservation status of the species, this should be further investigated, aiming an adequate management of these two evolutionarily significant units.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1163\/15685381-bja10061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,6]],"date-time":"2021-07-06T04:12:37Z","timestamp":1625544757000},"page":"503-510","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Cabo Verde giant gecko: how many units for conservation?"],"prefix":"10.1163","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6044-3696","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Katelene","family":"Delgado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Engenharias e Ci\u00eancias do Mar, Universidade T\u00e9cnica do Atl\u00e2ntico, Mindelo, S\u00e3o Vicente, Cabo Verde"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3938-1560","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Evandro P.","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Engenharias e Ci\u00eancias do Mar, Universidade T\u00e9cnica do Atl\u00e2ntico, Mindelo, S\u00e3o Vicente, Cabo Verde"},{"name":"CIBIO Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Biodiversidade e Recursos Gen\u00e9ticos, InBIO Laborat\u00f3rio Associado, Universidade do Porto, 4485-661 Vair\u00e3o, Portugal"},{"name":"Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias da Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4717-9429","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Raquel","family":"Vasconcelos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Engenharias e Ci\u00eancias do Mar, Universidade T\u00e9cnica do Atl\u00e2ntico, Mindelo, S\u00e3o Vicente, Cabo Verde"},{"name":"CIBIO Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Biodiversidade e Recursos Gen\u00e9ticos, InBIO Laborat\u00f3rio Associado, Universidade do Porto, 4485-661 Vair\u00e3o, Portugal"}]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"R000001","series-title":"J.\u00a0Volcanol.
