Phylogeography and demographic history of Shaw's Jird (Meriones shawii complex) in North Africa

2016-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Palaeoenvironmental data and climatic reconstructions show that the Mediterranean ecoregion of North Africa underwent drastic ecological changes during the Pleistocene. Given its rich palaeontological record, North Africa is a pertinent region for documenting the role of climate change and human mediated‐habitat changes on the demography and genetic structure of faunal species. In the present study, we collected d...
