Global population divergence and admixture of the brown rat ( <i>Rattus norvegicus</i> )

2016-07-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Once restricted to northern China and Mongolia, the brown rat ( Rattus norvegicus ) now enjoys a worldwide distribution due to the evolution of commensalism with humans. In contrast to black rats and the house mouse, which have tracked the regional and global development of human agricultural settlements, brown rats do not appear in the European historical record until the 1500s, suggesting the...
