Abstract excerpt

The population genetic structure of three species of Amazonian rodents (Oligoryzomys microtis, Oryzomys capito, and Mesomys hispidus) is examined for mtDNA sequence haplotypes of the cytochrome b gene by hierarchical analysis of variance and gene flow estimates based on fixation indices (NST) and...
