FIG. 1 in The Taxonomic Status of Florida Caiman: A Molecular Reappraisal

FIG. 1. Geographic distribution of Caiman sequences used in this study. (A) South Florida showing the localities of the exotic populations sampled. Black circles represent vouchered specimens Caiman crocodilus fuscus. Hollow circles (Ca. c. fuscus), triangle (Paleosuchus palpebrosus), and diamond (Paleosuchus trigonatus) represent nonnative specimens which were sequenced in this study. Native distributions of (B) P. trigonatus, (C) P. palpebrosus and (D) Ca. c. fuscus with black diamonds, triangles, or squares (respectively) representing sequenced specimens, and the gray diamond, triangle, or square representing the locality most likely to represent the origin population of the introduced specimens of the corresponding species in Florida. Estimated ranges of P. trigonatus and P. palpebrosus are outlined on maps B and C, following the range maps available from the IUCN (www. iucnredlist.org). Estimated ranges for the currently recognized subspecies of Ca. crocodilus are labeled on map D following Escobedo-Galván et al. (2011), with exception of Caiman crocodilus apaporiensis (see Balaguera-Reina et al., 2020) not shown on figure.
