Abstract

The northern three-toed jerboa Dipus sagitta was long considered to be a single polytypic species. Earlier, a high genetic diversity of D. sagitta was revealed on the basis of several mitochondrial and nuclear genes, and the existence of several separate species within it was hypothesized. However, a small number of available nuclear genes prevented the establishment of relationships between identified phylogenetic lineages. Here, we significantly expand the set of utilized nuclear DNA loci, which resulted in a sufficiently higher resolution of the phylogenetic tree for 10 forms of D. sagitta. The identified species structure mainly confirms the topology and relationship of the mtDNA lineages. At the same time, the mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies are not completely consistent. Hence, a part of the genetic lineages of D. sagitta is apparently a product of reticular evolutionary processes. This taxon is thus the diverse species complex D. sagitta sensu lato, in which long-diverged lineages are not always reproductively isolated.
