摘要: Abstract Given the presence of several species terrestrial wildlife with an Arabian population separated from their main distribution range, Peninsula can be seen as a biogeographic isolate. This arises its single links Africa via Sinai land bridge and ecological barrier Rub’ Al Khali desert to dispersals. In context Afro-Arabian biogeography, sub-Saharan Maghreb populations, for which access is limited respectively by eastern Sahara Libyan deserts, are particularly isolated counterparts. Genetic markers have proved useful in studying evolutionary history populations. A study mitochondrial DNA sequence data White-tailed Mongoose Ichneumia albicauda (an Afrotropical mammal) suggested colonization period ≈ 32,500 years ago, making this relatively long-term resident natural colonist Arabia. that Arabia...
