Mountain Treeshrew Paper Published!

9/14/2020

This paper was a long time in the making, but I'm very proud of how it turned out! The mountain treeshrew is a very common small mammal in medium-high elevation forests in Borneo. They are generalists and neither climb high in trees nor related to shrews (more closely related to primates!). After two field season sampling along the elevational gradient of Mount Kinabalu and Mount Tambuyukon we mined thousands of UCEs to extract SNPs, where we could look at gene flow across the span of their distribution. Surprisingly we did not recover strong elevational signatures, rather two groups which were found on both mountains, but more diversity was found in the older, smaller Mount Tambuyukon.
