Effects of historical climate change, habitat connectivity, and vicariance on genetic structure and diversity across the range of the red tree vole ( Phenacomys longicaudus) in the Pacific Northwestern United States
Abstract Phylogeographical analyses conducted in the Pacific Northwestern United States have often revealed concordant patterns of genetic diversity among taxa. These studies demonstrate distinct North/South genetic discontinuities that have been attributed to Pleistocene glaciation. We examined phy...

Abstract Phylogeographical analyses conducted in the Pacific Northwestern United States have often revealed concordant patterns of genetic diversity among taxa.
