Abstract excerpt
Pleistocene land bridges intermittently connected Taiwan to mainland China, yet how they facilitated the assembly of non-volant faunas remains obscure. Taiwan harbors two Mogera moles (M. kanoana and M. insularis), long thought to be sister species produced by a single colonization followed by in situ speciation. The recent discovery of M. insularis populations in mainland China provides an opportunity to test...
