| is leopoldamys neilli (rodentia, muridae) a synonym of leopoldamys herberti? a reply to balakirev et al. (2013). | recently, balakirev et al. (2013) presented a taxonomic revision of the genus leopoldamys based on phylogenetic analyses. they identified five main leopoldamys genetic lineages and suggested to rename several of them. according to these authors, the genetic lineage previously thought to belong to l. edwardsi (lineage l1) should be assigned to l. revertens while l. neilli (lineage l2) should be considered as a junior synonym of l. herberti. using molecular and morphological data from a large samp ... | 2013 | 25277593 |
| combined mitochondrial and nuclear markers revealed a deep vicariant history for leopoldamys neilli, a cave-dwelling rodent of thailand. | historical biogeography and evolutionary processes of cave taxa have been widely studied in temperate regions. however, southeast asian cave ecosystems remain largely unexplored despite their high scientific interest. here we studied the phylogeography of leopoldamys neilli, a cave-dwelling murine rodent living in limestone karsts of thailand, and compared the molecular signature of mitochondrial and nuclear markers. | 2012 | 23118888 |
