9508715 Smith This research will investigate evolutionary and ecological response of woodrats to climatic change since the last glacial maxima. Species-specific primers for woodrat ancient DNA will be developed with the goal of reconstructing population genetic fluctuations during interglacial/glacial events. %%% This research in its examination of genetic variation in ancient woodrat populations will provide the necessary framework to examine the stability of habitats over time, determination of critical thresholds for species replacement, and the comparative genetics of populations at the periphery versus the center of their geographic range. ***

小行星9508715 本研究将探讨末次盛冰期以来林鼠对气候变化的演化和生态响应。物种特异性引物的woodrat古DNA将开发重建种群遗传波动在间冰期/冰期事件的目标。 这项研究在其检查的遗传变异在古代woodrat人口将提供必要的框架，以检查随着时间的推移，栖息地的稳定性，物种更替的临界阈值的确定，以及比较遗传学的人口在其地理范围的边缘与中心。 ***
