Palaeogenomic analysis of black rat ( <i>Rattus rattus</i> ) reveals multiple European introductions associated with human economic history

2021-04-14

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of the black rat ( Rattus rattus ) has been heavily influenced by its association with humans. The dispersal history of this non-native commensal rodent across Europe, however, remains poorly understood, and different introductions may have occurred during the Roman and medieval periods. Here, in order to reconstruct the population history of European black rats, we generated a de novo genome as...
