Phylogenomics of the African laminate-toothed rats (Rodentia, Muridae, Otomys) in the Eastern Afromontane Biodiversity Hotspot: three colonisation waves followed by allopatric diversification on sky islands.

Abstract excerpt

The Eastern Afromontane Biodiversity Hotspot (EABH) is the region with the highest species diversity of the African rodent genus Otomys, but their phylogenetic relationships and distribution patterns remained largely unresolved. The present study fills these gaps using a phylogenomic approach with the most comprehensive sampling of the group to date. We obtained thousands of SNPs markers through double-digest...
