Post-glacial colonization of Europe by the wood mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus: evidence of a northern refugium and dispersal with humans
The wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus is an opportunistic rodent that is found throughout
most of the European mainland. It is present on many islands around the margins of the …

Next‐generation phylogeography resolves post‐glacial colonization patterns in a widespread carnivore, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), in Europe
Carnivores 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 …
