In the light of available paleontological, genetic, and ecological data, we attempt to reconstruct
the natural history of the house mouse (Mus musculus) and to justify a systematics. The …

Madeira is a small volcanic island in the Atlantic Ocean with steep mountains separating
narrow valleys that are the only areas habitable by humans and their commensals. Here we …

The molecular signatures of the recent expansion of the western house mouse, Mus

Although chromosome rearrangements ( CRs ) are central to studies of genome evolution,
our understanding of the evolutionary consequences of the early stages of karyotypic …

Background Recent advances in comparative genomics have considerably improved our
knowledge of the evolution of mammalian karyotype architecture. One of the breakthroughs …

We assessed the fertility (reproductive success, litter size, testis weight, spermatocyte-to-spermatid
ratio) of F 1 s and backcrosses between different wild-derived outbred and inbred …

The effects of chromosomal rearrangements on recombination rates were tested by the
analysis of chiasma distribution patterns in wild house mice. Males and females of two …
