Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation was examined in eight taxa of the African rodent family Bathyergidae, as well as in two taxa representative of the Old-World hystricognathid rodent families Petromyidae and Thryonomyidae. A total of 812 bp, constituting domains I-III of the 12S ribosomal rRNA gene, were compared for each taxon. The high levels of intrafamilial mtDNA sequence divergence observed...
