Diversification processes in Gerp's mouse lemur demonstrate the importance of rivers and altitude as biogeographic barriers in Madagascar's humid rainforests by Tobias van Elst, Dominik Schüßler, Romule Rakotondravony, Valisoa S. T. Rovanirina, Anne Veillet, Paul A. Hohenlohe, Jonah H. Ratsimbazafy, Rodin M. Rasoloarison, Solofonirina Rasoloharijaona, Blanchard Randrianambinina, Miarisoa L. Ramilison, Anne D. Yoder, Edward E. Louis Jr., Ute Radespiel

“…Populations on opposite sides of the largest river in the area with headwaters that extend far into the highlands show particularly high genetic differentiation, whereas rivers with lower elevation headwaters have weaker barrier functions, indicated by higher migration rates and admixture. We conclude that M. gerpi likely diversified through repeated cycles of dispersal punctuated by isolation to refugia as a result of paleoclimatic fluctuations during the Pleistocene. …”
