The long-distance movements made by humans through history are quickly erased by time
but can be reconstructed by studying the genetic make-up of organisms that travelled with …

Human-commensalism has been intuitively characterised as an interspecific interaction
whereby non-human individuals benefit from tight associations with anthropogenic …

Native to China and Mongolia, the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) now enjoys a worldwide
distribution. While black rats and the house mouse tracked the regional development of …

We examined the sequence variation of mitochondrial DNA control region and cytochrome b
gene of the house mouse (Mus musculus sensu lato) drawn from ca. 200 localities, with 286 …

The molecular signatures of the recent expansion of the western house mouse, Mus
musculus domesticus, around the Mediterranean basin are investigated through the study of …

The west European subspecies of house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) has gained
much of its current widespread distribution through commensalism with humans. This means …

Abstract Background House mice (Mus musculus) are commensals of humans and therefore
their phylogeography can reflect human colonization and settlement patterns. Previous …

House mice (Mus musculus) have spread globally as a result of their commensal
relationship with humans. In the form of laboratory strains, both inbred and outbred, they are …

Background The phylogeography of the house mouse (Mus musculus L.), an emblematic
species for genetic and biomedical studies, is only partly understood, essentially because of …

The worldwide intensification of human‐associated exchanges favours the multiplication of
biological invasions. Among mammals, rodent species, including the house mouse M us …
