This study uses whole-genome and ancient DNA data to show that Palearctic true lemmings have shallow genetic structure shaped by postglacial bottlenecks and isolation, not deep divergence as seen in mitochondrial genomes.

This study provides genetic data on Microdillus peeli and a new lineage from the Horn of Africa, revealing it as the center of evolutionary diversity for the genus Gerbillus.

The paper analyzes genetic diversity in naked mole-rats from Kenya and Ethiopia using whole-genome sequencing and a chromosome-scale genome assembly, revealing unexpected genetic divergence patterns.
