| cytochrome b sequence analysis reveals differential molecular evolution in african mole-rats of the chromosomally hyperdiverse genus fukomys (bathyergidae, rodentia) from the zambezian region. | african mole-rats (bathyergidae, rodentia) of the (eu)social genus fukomys are one of the most speciose mammal genera endemic to sub-saharan africa. fukomys distributed in the zambezian phytochorion is characterized by extreme chromosomal variation (2n=40-78). we inferred a molecular phylogeny of zambezian fukomys to resolve the interrelationships and the evolutionary history of the known chromosomal races. we sequenced the entire cytochrome b gene (1140bp) for a total of 66 specimens representi ... | 2007 | 17576078 |
