Evolutionary history of two cryptic species of northern African jerboas

Evolutionary history of two cryptic species of northern African jerboas

Abstract Background Climatic variation and geologic change both play significant roles in shaping species distributions, thus affecting their evolutionary history. In Sahara-Sahel, climatic oscillations shifted the desert extent during the Pliocene-Pleistocene interval, triggering the diversificatio...
