| phylogeography of the malagasy ring-tailed mongoose, galidia elegans, from mtdna sequence analysis. | the ring-tailed mongoose (galidia elegans) represents one of the most widely distributed mongooses in madagascar; however, we know little about the ecology of this seemingly ubiquitous species. currently, g. elegans is divided into three recognized subspecies--g. e. elegans, g. e. dambrensis, and g. e. occidentalis--based on differences in pelage coloration between the distinct geographic locations. we used intraspecific dna variation to describe the phylogenetic relationships among the describe ... | 2009 | 19565675 |
