norwegian house mice (mus musculus musculus/domesticus): distributions, routes of colonization and patterns of hybridization. | we investigated the distributions and routes of colonization of two commensal subspecies of house mouse in norway: mus musculus domesticus and m. m. musculus. five nuclear markers (abpa, d11 cenb2, btk, smcy and zfy2) and a morphological feature (tail length) were used to differentiate the two subspecies and assess their distributions, and mitochondrial (mt) d-loop sequences helped to elucidate their colonization history. m. m. domesticus is the more widespread of the two subspecies, occupying t ... | 2010 | 21044192 |
