Genotypic and phenotypic divergence of rodents (Acomys cahirinus and Apodemus mystacinus) at "Evolution Canyon": Micro- and macroscale parallelism

Abstract

Genetic allozyme and RAPD diversities were examined for ecological-genetic patterns in two rodents, the spiny-mouse Acomys cahirinus (Desmarest, 1819) and woodmouse Apodemus mystacinus (Danford and Alston, 1877), from the ecologically contrasting opposite slopes of the Lower Nahal Oren microsite, Mt.
