Resumen

The dynamic landscapes of California have supported the evolution of high levels of biological diversity, including in the genus Neotoma (woodrats).  Here, we use whole mitochondrial genomes and low coverage genome-wide data to explore patterns of diversity within and among five western lineages of woodrats: Neotoma fuscipes, N. macrotis, N. bryanti, N. lepida and N. cinerea.  We place these patterns of diversity and differentiation within the context of what has been learned about the evolutionary dynamics of these species over the past 25 years.  We end by exploring how new genomic datasets coupled with intensive fieldwork will continue to provide new insights into the evolutionary history and future trajectories of these lineages.
