Mitochondrial-DNA variation and the evolutionary affinities of the Peromyscus maniculatus complex from western North America

Intraspecific phylogeography and the phylogenetic relationships of recently-diverged taxa are best assessed with the use of a genetic marker that coalesces rapidly and thus provides phylogenetically informative characters for closely-related taxa. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fits these criteria and wa...
