Santa Cruz cluster

Samples are close to each other in SNP–PCA, although they do not form a cluster in the RADseq tree. These iguanas are also characterized by mitochondrial haplotypes exclusive to the island and are morphologically well differentiated from most other island clusters, except for Rábida, Marchena and Pinta . We consider this cluster, which also includes specimens from Seymour Norte, as A. c. hassi.
