dc.description | We used both molecular and craniometrical data to test the presence of <EM>Hylomyscus walterverheyeni</EM> in the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL). Our molecular (cytochrome b and 16S gene sequencing) and morphometrical data (discriminant analyses) clearly show the presence of <EM>H. walterverheyeni</EM> in the CVL, north-west of the Sanaga River. <EM>Hylomyscus walterverheyeni</EM> occupies both lowland and mountain forests (up to 2000m asl). In our phylogenetic analyses, the CVL specimens form a monophyletic group. This clade seems to reflect the role of the Sanaga River as a barrier to gene flow within the species. | |
