| Abstract: | Background Starting from Western Europe, the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) has spread across the globe in historic times. However, most oceanic islands were colonized by mice only within the past
300 years. This makes them an excellent model for studying the evolutionary processes during early stages of new colonization.
We have focused here on the Kerguelen Archipelago, located within the sub-Antarctic area and compare the patterns with samples
from other Southern Ocean islands. |
