    Conservation genomics of desert dwelling California voles (Microtus californicus) and implications for management of endangered Amargosa voles (Microtus californicus scirpensis)

    Understanding population genetic structure and levels of genetic variation is critical for the conservation and management of imperiled populations, especially when reintroductions are planned. We used restric...

    MtDNA Evidence for Repeated Pulses of Speciation Within Arvicoline and Murid Rodents

    We examined temporal aspects of phylogenetic relationships among 5 murid rodent subfamilies and 11 arvicoline genera based on DNA sequences of the cytochrome b gene (n = 92) and ND4 gene (n = 17). We found monoph...
