Two populations of the endangered Magdalena River turtle, Podocnemis lewyana, separated by 55 km in the Mompos Depression were sampled to quantify levels of genetic variation and inspect for evidence of genetic structure. Allozyme analyses resolved 22 presumptive gene loci, but only one resulted pol...
