Genetics reveal the origin and timing of a cryptic insular introduction of muskrats in North America.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Mychajliw Alexis M, Harrison Richard G

Abstract excerpt

The muskrat, Ondatra zibethicus, is a semiaquatic rodent native to North America that has become a highly successful invader across Europe, Asia, and South America. It can inflict ecological and economic damage on wetland systems outside of its native range. Anecdotal evidence suggests that, in the early 1900s, a population of muskrats was introduced to the Isles of Shoals archipelago, located within the Gulf of...
