African bush pigs exhibit porous species boundaries and appeared in Madagascar concurrently with human arrival

2023-08-24

Abstract excerpt

Several African mammals exhibit a phylogeographic pattern where closely related taxa are split between West/Central and East/Southern Africa, but their evolutionary relationships and histories remain controversial. Bushpigs ( Potamochoerus larvatus ) and red river hogs ( P. porcus ) are recognised as separate species due to morphological distinctions, a perceived lack of interbreeding at contact, and putatively...
