Main page for my research work with the marine iguanas on Caamaño (Caamano), Galápagos (Galapagos), Ecuador. Research involves mating behavior analyses and paternity analysis through use of microsatellite molecular markers. Research techiniques are discussed (PCR, electrophoresis, microsatellite sequencing and screening, heterozygosity, behavioral data collection / analysis) as well as items of general interest.
