Mitochondrial phylogeography of the black rat supports a single invasion of the western Mediterranean basin

2015-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The black rat Rattus rattus is recognized as one of the world’s most harmful invasive species. It has spread across the globe by passive human transport and the dynamics of colonization have been investigated in several areas of the world. However, data for the Mediterranean basin are still lacking. We investigated the black rat colonization of the western Mediterranean basin by means of mitochondrial genes. Mitoc...
