Genets (Carnivora, Viverridae) in Africa: an evolutionary synthesis based on cytochrome b sequences and morphological characters

2004-04-01

Abstract excerpt

The taxonomy of the genets (genus Genetta) has long been discussed, thus hampering endeavours towards evolutionary reconstruction. Sequence data from the complete cytochrome b gene (cyt b) were generated for 50 specimens representing 15 morphological species in order to allow the production of the first exhaustive molecular phylogeny of the genets. Second, a revised morphological matrix comprising 50 characters wa...
