“…A total of 182 mouse tail samples ~10mm long were obtained from across the country (Figure 1), selected to achieve geographically representative sampling from across the two main islands, from all distant offshore islands with extant mouse populations, some large inshore islands, and from Sydney, Australia -a potential source population for invading mice, as it was the major port in the region in the 19 th Century. Where possible, samples of known mitochondrial lineages that had previously been sequenced for the mitochondrial control region by King et al, 2016 were used. Fifty-nine new samples were obtained from locations of interest that had previously not been sampled, or from locations where these previous tissue samples were found to be degraded.…”

“…While these diagnostic data yield a far smaller dataset than the total GigaMUGA or MegaMUGA genotypes, it provides an unbiased estimate of ancestral contribution, which can be compared to the model-based outputs from ADMIXTURE. We extracted both the mitochondrial and Y-chromosome SNPs and compared these haplotypes with the GigaMUGA reference samples, and with the known mitochondrial control region sequences previously recorded for most of the New Zealand samples [56]. There are multiple (>5) diagnostic SNPS on both the Ychromosome and mt-genome featured on this array, therefore we were able accurately to classify each haplotype to subspecies origin, and where possible, to infra-subspecies clade.…”

“…The primary population genetic structure among mouse populations in New Zealand is defined by the divergences between the southern South Island sampling locations (Matukituki, Hollyford, Eglinton, Grebe, Pig Creek and Tairoa -region E; for detailed location data see [56]), and the northern South Island sampling locations (Abel Tasman & Lake Rotoiti -region C) from the remaining locations ( Figure 3). Sampling locations that exhibit admixtures with these divergent groups within the South Island (e.g.…”

The house mouse, Mus musculus, provides a powerful model system for understanding evolution, and is arguably the best mammalian model for studies of the genomic basis for reproductive isolation during the early stages of speciation. It includes at least three closely related subspecies with parapatric distributions: M. m. musculus found in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, M. m. castaneus in Southeast Asia and India, and M. m. domesticus, in western Europe, the Near East, and northern Africa [1]. These three subspecies rapidly diverged in allopatry around 350,000 years ago [2][3][4], and evidence suggests that M. m. castaneus and M. m. musculus are more closely related to each other than either is to M. m. domesticus [5, 6]. During the past 10,000 years, house mice have become commensal with humans, and as stowaways with them, have become the most successful small mammal colonizers of new continents during the past few hundred years [7,8].Regions of secondary contact and introgression may mark where mouse subspecies meet in nature. The best studied of these is a narrow hybrid zone between M. m. domesticus and M. m. musculus that stretches from Denmark to the Black Sea in central Europe [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. This hybrid zone is young, with mice having colonized this *Author for correspondence (andrew.j.veale@gmail.com).†Present address: Department of Zoology, University of Otago, 340 Great King St, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand .

Hybridization in the wild between M. m. domesticus and M. m. castaneus is best known from one study of an introduced population in California [21] and one in New Zealand [22]. Within the native range, other possible domesticus/castaneus hybrid zones in Iran [23][24][25] and in Indonesia [26] have produced only preliminary results, because these regions are complex, supporting multiple (and potentially undescribed) subspecies [24], and because comprehensive nuclear loci have not been used to look at the levels of admixture across the genomes.Hybrids between subspecies have been extensively studied in laboratory strains of mice, with data indicating that M. m. musculus and M. m. domesticus are largely reproductively isolated [27,28]. These studies have helped us to understand the genetics of speciation, particularly the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility [29][30][31][32], revealing an important role of the X chromosome in producing reproductive incompatibilities [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. Studies of both wild and laboratory mice have also found that hybrid male sterility has a complex basis, involving many genes [31,32,38,41]. Laboratory crosses between M. m. domesticus and M. m. musculus led to the identification of Prdm9 on chromosome 17, the only gene at present known to cont...

“…Four haplotypes were detected in the Waikawa Island sample (n = 14). The common haplotype (domNZ.12; King et al 2016) was also present in the Mahia and Gisborne samples, but two haplotypes were recorded only on Waikawa Island. Three haplotypes (domNZ.12; domNZ.14; domNZ.3) were widespread in Hawkes Bay (Fig.…”

Genetic distinctiveness of the Waikawa Island mouse population indicates low rate of dispersal from mainland New Zealand

Abstract:In New Zealand, mice in reserves can complicate the control of mammalian predator invasion by masking scent and eating baits. Eradicating mice allows predator invasions to be more readily detected and managed, but removal of mice is only feasible if recolonisation is rare. We used genetics and morphology to assess whether the mouse population on Waikawa Island was isolated from the mainland population. A sample of mitochondrial DNA sequences revealed that at least four female mice must have founded the Waikawa population, but that gene flow between island and mainland mice is limited. Although no variation in DNA sequences of exon 1 of the nuclear gene vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase subcomponent 1 was detected, the common allele is not associated with resistance to anticoagulant rodenticides such as warfarin. Body size comparisons revealed the island population as distinct, possibly due to age structure differences. We infer low levels of successful dispersal between the mainland and Waikawa Island mouse populations and suggest eradication might be sustainable in the long-term if protection against rodent invasion is maintained.
