00:00A group already known of 250 animals turned out to be genetically different from their other neighbors on the island.
00:07A new species of giant turtle, which had been hiding from everyone's sight, has been discovered on the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador.
00:15A community of approximately 250 animals that live in an area of the interior area of the island of Santa Cruz,
00:22turned out to be so genetically different from the rest of the turtles on the island,
00:26that researchers have determined that it represents a separate species, Chelonoidis domfaustoides.
00:32This designation could lead to a more intense protection of the new species.
00:36Part of its habitat area is protected, but the new designation of the species could stimulate efforts to prevent agriculture from devouring the unprotected parts of the land.
00:46The name of the species, Domfaustoides, honors the former forest guard of the Galapagos National Park, Fausto Llerena Sánchez,
00:52known by his friends and colleagues as Don Fausto, Don Fausto, who directed the breeding program of turtles in the park,
00:58retired last year after 43 years of service.
01:02This man dedicated his life to them, says Aljiza Kakone, biologist at the Galapagos National Park.
01:09All other species of turtle were named by researchers to honor scientists or explorers,
01:14but no species had been named in honor of an Ecuadorian person.
01:18Kakone and his colleagues had suspected for at least 10 years that the turtles had just discovered land inside,
01:24that they live in an area located in the middle of the Galapagos National Park.
01:28Kakone and his colleagues had suspected for at least 10 years that the turtles had just discovered land inside,
01:34that they live in an area located about 20 kilometers from the main population of turtles,
01:40could belong to a separate species.
01:43The theory was first suggested by the wildlife biologist Tom Fritz,
01:48who has retired from the US Geological Survey.
01:51Two Homes
01:53Fritz says it was the clear geographical separation between the two populations that intrigued him,
01:57and not the differences in appearance or morphology.
02:00Adult turtles have their history on their backs, he says.
02:04There are great variations that occur due to the effect of the environment,
02:08so it is very difficult to differentiate them based on morphology.
02:11That is why Kakone's team suggested that they investigate the genetics of the two populations.
02:16Their document, published in PLOS ONE on October 21, is the culmination of a decade of work.
02:22The results present 25 mutations of the mitochondrial DNA that reliably separate the two groups.
02:28The researchers also analyzed 12 highly variable regions of nuclear DNA,
02:33called microsatellite locus, in 51 turtles of both groups.
02:38The team found that when these locuses grouped by their distinction between each other,
02:42two very specific groups emerged, and corresponded to the two populations of turtles.
02:47They are very different, says Kakone.
02:50The team has built a genealogical tree of the turtles of the islands using thousands of samples collected in the last 20 years,
02:57which now allows them to investigate the history of the two species of Santa Cruz.
03:01The closest living relatives of Sedón Faustoi live entirely on another island, San Cristóbal.
03:07Santa Cruz was colonized twice independently, says Kakone.
03:12Michel Milinkovitch, a conservationist geneticist at the University of Geneva, in Switzerland,
03:17and who has worked with Galapagos turtles,
03:19says that the analysis shows that the groups are as different as other turtles in the archipelago
03:23that are considered separate species.
03:26With the new discovery,
03:28the Galapagos are now home to two known species of giant turtles.
03:32But if the turtle is a new species or perhaps just a subspecies,
03:36Milinkovitch does not care as much as establishing a status of genetically different reproductive population than the others.
03:42The concept of species is vague, says.
03:45Call them whatever you want, I don't care.
03:48The important thing is that people realize that there is diversity that is hidden.
03:53Now read the PDF file and listen to the sound again.

04:08A new species of giant turtle, which had been hiding from everyone,
04:13has been discovered on the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador.
04:16A community of approximately 250 animals

05:07evolutionary biologist at Yale University,

05:23Kakkone and his colleagues had suspected for at least 10 years
05:26that the newly discovered turtles inland,
05:29which inhabit an area located about 20 kilometers from the main population of turtles,
05:33could belong to a separate species.
05:36The theory was first suggested by the wildlife biologist Tom Fritz,
