Unraveling phylogenetic relationships and species boundaries in the arid adapted Gerbillus rodents (Muridae: Gerbillinae) by RAD-seq data

[Display omitted] •RAD-seq data corroborate division of Gerbillus into four subgenera with high support.•Genealogical discordance is restricted to one branch leading to the main lineages.•Diversification of the genus coincides with aridification of Sahara.•Species boundaries in studied species of Ge...
