“…Interestingly, the picture drawn from studies on rodents often resembles those obtained on other mammals that we are aware of: refuges and allopatry during successive climatic cycles in the past were advocated to explain the differentiation of genetic lineages in cercopithecine monkeys (e.g., [94], [95]), baboons [96], hyenas [97], wild dog [98], common warthog [99], giraffe [100], buffalo [101] and many large antelopes like topi, hartebeest [102], [103], impala, kudu [104], waterbuck [105], kob [106], African bushbuck [107], common eland [108] and roan [109]. Similar conclusions were also reached in plants (e.g., shea tree: [110]; giant lobelia: [111]; coffee tree: [112]), insects (e.g., maize stalk borer: [113]), reptiles (e.g., puff adder: [114]; Southern rock agama: [115]) and birds (e.g., starred robin: [116]; ostrich: [117]).…”
