主 题：DNA analysis Pyrenees rodents seed dispersal vegetation structure
摘 要：The function and conservation of many forest ecosystems depend on the distribution and diversity of the community of rodents that consume and disperse *** habitat preferences and interactions are especially relevant in alpine systems where such granivorous rodents reach the southernmost limit of their distribution and are especially sensitive to global *** analyzed the community of granivorous rodents in the Pyrenees,one of the southernmost mountain ranges of *** species were identified by DNA with particular attention to the Apodemus species,which are prominent seed-dispersing rodents in *** confirmed for the first time the presence of the yellow-necked mouse,Apodemus flavicollis,in central Pyrenees,a typical Eurosiberian species that reaches its southernmost distribution limit in this *** also found the wood mouse,Apodemus sylvaticus,a related species more tolerant to Mediterranean *** rodents were spatially segregated by *** was rare at high altitudes,which might cause the genetic differentiation between populations of the different valleys reported *** also found other seed consumers like dormice,Elyomis quercinus,and voles,Myodes glareolus,with marked habitat *** suggest that population isolation among valleys may increase the genetic diversity of rodents,like *** also highlight the potential threat that global warming may represent for species linked to high-altitude refuges at the southern edge of its distribution,like Apodemus ***,we discuss how this threat may have a dimension in the conservation of alpine forests dispersed by these rodent populations.
