Molecular phylogeny and biogeography of Petaurista inferred from the cytochrome b gene, with implications for the taxonomic status of P. caniceps, P. marica and P. sybilla.

Abstract excerpt

The polymorphic genus Petaurista includes a group of diverse species and subspecies that are adapted for gliding and arboreal life. This morphological diversity has resulted in taxonomic discrepancies, and molecular phylogenetic studies have been limited by taxon sampling. To clarify this controv...
