Biogeographic origin and radiation of the Old World crocidurine shrews (Mammalia: Soricidae) inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear genes
The crocidurine shrews include the most speciose genus of mammals, Crocidura. The origin
and evolution of their radiation is, however, poorly understood because of very scant fossil …
