Chromosomes of tuatara, Sphenodon, a chromosome heteromorphism and an archaic reptilian karyotype

We examined karyotypes of the endemic New Zealand reptile genus Sphenodon (tuatara) from five populations, finding a karyotype unchanged for at least one million years. Animals karyotyped were from five geographically distinct populations, representing three groups, namely S. guntheri, S. punctatus...
