How many species of Apodemus and Rattus occur in China? A survey based on mitochondrial cyt b and morphological analyses

Apodemus (mice) and Rattus (rats) are the top rodent reservoirs for zoonoses in China, yet little is known about their diversity. We reexamined the alpha diversity of these two genera based on a new collection of specimens from China and their cyt b sequences in GenBank. We also tested whether speci...
