“…These haplotypes include examples of both the MUS group (two haplotypes, nine mice) and the CAS group (three haplotypes, 17 mice). The distribution of the two haplotype groups on Hokkaido is mutually exclusive; CAS group haplotypes Genotypes were referred from Suzuki et al (2004) and Furusawa (2000), respectively. (Table 1).…”

Phylogeographic origin of Hokkaido house mice (Mus musculus) as indicated by genetic markers with maternal, paternal and biparental inheritance

We examined intraspecies genetic variation in house mice (Mus musculus molossinus) from the northern third of the Japanese Islands, in order to obtain evidence of the history of mouse colonization that might have shaped the current genetic diversity. We extended the previous sampling of mitochondrial cytochrome b sequence and added information from the Y-linked Sry gene and ribosomal RNA gene surveys. We distinguish mitochondrial haplotypes characteristic of the North Asian musculus subspecies group (involving M. m. musculus and M. m. molossinus) as 'MUS', and that of the Southeast Asian castaneus subspecies group as 'CAS' (although the mice resemble MUS morphologically). There was a clear geographic partition of MUS and CAS types into southern and northern Hokkaido, respectively. Conversely, on Tohoku, the MUS and CAS types were interspersed without clear geographic subdivision. In contrast to the mtDNA data, all Hokkaido and Tohoku mice examined were found to possess a unique type for the Y-linked Sry gene, specific to Korea and Japan. Restriction site analysis of nuclear rDNA probe showed a consistent distribution of MUS and CAS types, as major and minor components, respectively, in the Hokkaido and Tohoku mice. These data support the previous notion that the Hokkaido and Tohoku mice experienced genetic hybridization between primary residents of CAS origin and MUS newcomers arriving via a southern route. The invasion of the MUS type could correspond with the evidence for arrival of prehistoric peoples. There are, however, alternative interpretations, including genetic admixture between MUS arriving by a southern route and CAS from a northern route.

“…Since the closest outgroup is the rather divergent Rattus norvegicus, we did not include the control region in this first tree. The maximum likelihood values were not different enough to determine which of the three most divergent groups separated first, and therefore we left this deepest slip unresolved with the following three branches diverging ( We estimated coalescence times for these branches assuming a divergence time between Mus and Rattus of 12 million yr (paleontological data from Jacobs et al 1989;Jaeger et al 1986in Michaux et al 2002Suzuki et al 2004). The results date the split between the three main groups at 371,000 ‫ע‬ 91,300 yr ago, consistent with published mtDNA data that place the divergence between Mus musculus subspecies between 0.1 Mya (based on Figure 1.…”

Inbred mouse strains have been maintained for more than 100 years, and they are thought to be a mixture of four different mouse subspecies. Although genealogies have been established, female inbred mouse phylogenies remain unexplored. By a phylogenetic analysis of newly generated complete mitochondrial DNA sequence data in 16 strains, we show here that all common inbred strains descend from the same Mus musculus domesticus female wild ancestor, and suggest that they present a different mitochondrial evolutionary process than their wild relatives with a faster accumulation of replacement substitutions. Our data complement forthcoming results on resequencing of a group of priority strains, and they follow recent efforts of the Mouse Phenome Project to collect and make publicly available information on various strains.

Skull Size and Biomechanics are Good Estimators of In Vivo Bite Force in Murid Rodents

Rodentia is a species-rich group with diversified modes of life and diets. Although rodent skull morphology has been the focus of a voluminous literature, the functional significance of its variations has yet to be explored in live animals. Myomorphous rodents, including murids, have been suggested to represent "high-performance generalists." We measured in vivo bite force in 14 species of wild and lab-reared murid rodents of various sizes and diets to investigate potential morphofunctional differences between them. We dissected their skulls and computed a biomechanical model to estimate bite force. We first tested if our model allowed good estimation of in vivo data. Then, using morphological, in vivo and estimated bite force data in a phylogenetic context, we aimed to find the drivers of bite force differences among species. Estimated and in vivo bite forces were strongly correlated, which indicates that (a) biomechanical models allow a good estimation of real performance, and that (b) size and muscular changes (increased mass, fiber length, and PCSA) are the main drivers of bite performance differences. Myomorphous rodents, therefore, may have evolved high bite force through a combination of changes in size and musculature, which gave them a great versatility in their ability to process food. We found mixed results at the intraspecific level, with only some species displaying a good fit between estimated and in vivo measurements. We suggest that limited variation in size and muscular organization, and increased behavioral variation might decrease the precision of bite force estimates within species.
