A novel SNP assay reveals increased genetic variability and abundance following translocations to a remnant Allegheny woodrat population

A novel SNP assay reveals increased genetic variability and abundance following translocations to a remnant Allegheny woodrat population

Abstract Background Allegheny woodrats (Neotoma magister) are found in metapopulations distributed throughout the Interior Highlands and Appalachia. Historically these metapopulations persisted as relatively fluid networks, enabling gene flow between subpopulations and recolonization of formerly ext...
