Evolutionary history and species delimitations: a case study of the hazel dormouse, Muscardinus avellanarius

Abstract: Robust identification of species and significant evolutionary units (ESUs) is essential to implement appropriate conservation strategies for endangered species. However, definitions of species or ESUs are numerous and sometimes controversial, which might lead to biased conclusions, with serious consequences for the management of endangered species. The hazel dormouse, an arboreal rodent of conservation concern throughout Europe is an ideal model species to investigate the relevance of species identification fo… Show more

“…Mouton et al (2017) identified two highly divergent lineages of Muscardinus avellanarius respectively distributed in western and central-eastern Europe and Anatolia. Moreover adopting several species definitions and methods the number of species can be between one and 10 ( Mouton et al 2017). One of this putative species is an Italian endemic diverging 3.5 MYA from western European populations.…”

“…and Martín-Suárez (2013) suggested that the base age of Gliridae (50 Mya) used as a calibration age by Montgelard et al (2003) was too old and should be replaced by 16 Mya, a view that has subsequently not been followed (e.g., Mouton et al, 2017). The first possible origin for Hypnomys, which is the most commonly accepted hypothesis (e.g., Agustí, 1980;Alcover et al, 1981;Bover et al, 2014;Colom, 1978;Mas et al, 2018;Moyà-Solà & Pons-Moyà, 1980), involves a split from a continental ancestor during the Late Tortonian/Early Messinian (Figure 2) and its arrival into the Balearic Islands during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC, 5.97-5.33 Mya;Krijgsman, Hilgen, Raffi, Sierro, & Wilson, 1999;Manzi et al, 2013).…”

“…We implemented a birth‐death tree prior and a single relaxed uncorrelated lognormal clock model (with rate multipliers for each of the three partitions, see Table ) to estimate phylogeny and divergence times using BEAST v.1.8.4 (Drummond, Suchard, Xie, & Rambaut, ). To calibrate our analysis, we followed previous studies (e.g., Montgelard et al, ; Nunome et al, ; Mouton et al, ) and constrained the age of the divergence between Sciuridae and Gliridae according to a uniform distribution with a minimum of 50 million years ago (Mya) and a maximum of 55 Mya, corresponding to the earliest known fossil representatives of these families (Hartenberger, ). We repeated our analysis four times with different starting trees created using Mesquite v.3.04 (Maddison & Maddison, ) based on an ML tree created using IQTREE v.1.6.6 (Nguyen, Schmidt, von Haeseler, & Minh, ).…”
