Commensalism facilitates gene flow in mountains: a comparison between two Rattus species.

Heredity - 1 Sept 2015

Varudkar A, Ramakrishnan U

Abstract excerpt

Small mammal dispersal is strongly affected by geographical barriers. However, commensal small mammals may be passively transported over large distances and strong barriers by humans (often with agricultural products). This pattern should be especially apparent in topographically complex landscapes, such as mountain ranges, where valleys and/or peaks can limit dispersal of less vagile species. We predict that...
