Next‐generation phylogeography resolves post‐glacial colonization patterns in a...
McDevitt, Allan D.; Coscia, Ilaria; Browett, Samuel S.; Ruiz‐González, Aritz; Statham, Mark J.; Ruczyńska, Iwona; Roberts, Liam; Stojak, JoannaCarnivores tend to exhibit a lack of (or less pronounced) genetic structure at continental scales in both a geographic and temporal sense and this can confound the identification of post-glacial colonization patterns in this group. In this study we used genome-wide data (using genotyping by sequencing [GBS]) to reconstruct the phylogeographic history of a widespread carnivore, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), by in...
MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occu...
Grilo, Clara; Afonso, Beatriz C.; Afonso, Filipe; Alexandre, Marta; Aliácar, Sara; Almeida, Ana; Alonso, Ivan Prego; Álvares, Francisco; Alves, PauloMammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being includedin the IUCN threatened categories.

Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func-tionality and resilience, and therefore...
