Genetic structure of muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) and its concordance with taxonomy in North America.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Laurence Sophie, Coltman David W, Gorrell Jamieson C, Schulte-Hostedde Albrecht I

Abstract excerpt

Extrinsic factors such as physical barriers play an important role in shaping population genetic structure. A reduction in gene flow leading to population structuring may ultimately lead to population divergence. These divergent populations are often considered subspecies. Because genetic differentiation may represent differences between subspecies, patterns of genetic structure should reflect subspecies...
