Black rat invasion of inland Sahel: insights from interviews and population genetics in south‐western Niger

2016-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Human population migrations, as well as long‐distance trade activities, have been responsible for the spread of many invasive organisms. The black rat, Rattus rattus, has colonized most of the world following ship‐mediated trade. Owing to its tight association with human infrastructures, this species has been able to survive in unfavourable environments, such as Sahelian Africa. In this work, we combined interview...
