Epigenetics and island-mainland divergence in an insectivorous small mammal

2022-04-15

Abstract excerpt

Geographically isolated populations, specifically island-mainland counterparts, tend to exhibit phenotypic variation in many species. The so-called island syndrome occurs when different environmental pressures lead to insular divergence from mainland populations. This phenomenon can be seen in an island population of Nova Scotia masked shrews ( Sorex cinereus ), which have developed a specialized feeding habit an...
