Journal Article
The mitochondrial genome of the critically endangered enigmatic Kazakhstani endemic Selevinia betpakdalaensis (Rodentia: Gliridae) and its phylogenetic relationships with other dormouse species
2024
Overview
Dormice (family Gliridae) are an ancient group of rodents. It was fully dominant in the Oligocene and Early Miocene, and its current diversity is represented by a few extant species. A Kazakhstani endemic, the desert dormouse
Selevinia betpakdalaensis
is one of the most enigmatic dormouse species. Lack of genetic data has not allowed
Selevinia
to be included in previous molecular phylogenetic analyses. In the current study, we report the first genetic data on
S. betpakdalaensis
as well as mitochondrial genomes of
Myomimus roachi
and
Glirulus japonicus
(retrieved from museum specimens) and a mitogenome of
Graphiurus murinus
(assembled from SRA data). The assembled mitochondrial genomes were combined with available mitochondrial data from GenBank to reconstruct the mitochondrial phylogeny of Gliridae. Taking into account a distortion of the phylogeny as a result of an analysis of the saturated third codon position, we obtained for the first time a resolved phylogeny of the family. The first split within Gliridae was estimated as an average of 34.6 Mya, whereas divergence time of subfamilies Graphiurinae and Glirinae was assessed at 32.67 Mya. The phylogenetic analysis confirmed the relationship (previously shown based on cranial and mandibular morphology) between
Selevinia
and the
Myomimus.
