Abstract:Asian pikas have one of the most complex systematics and evolutionary history. The Himalayas is an important habitat for Asian pikas as it hosts 23-25% of pika global diversity and has provided the ancestral training ground for local adaptation to high altitudes. They are one of the most abundant species in the Himalayas and Qinghai Tibetan Plateau (QTP), however genetic studies to explore their population structure and evolution are limited. Here, we utilize a population genomics approach using ~28,000 genome… Show more
