Article Synopsis
- * Bushpigs (Potamochoerus larvatus) and red river hogs (P. porcus) were once thought to be the same species due to their morphological differences and lack of interbreeding, but genetic analysis reveals a more complex relationship with evidence of historical gene flow.
- * The study suggests that instead of being distinct species, bushpigs and red river hogs may represent incompletely speciation, and that Malagasy bushpigs diverged from their southern African relatives during a population bottleneck that coincided with human arrival in Madagascar.
DNA barcode reference libraries are now continuously produced for the tree of life, which are essential pillars for the study of biological diversity. Yet, our knowledge about global diversity is largely limited in undersampled regions such as the largest warm desert, the Sahara-Sahel. This dataset provides a DNA barcode reference library for the reptiles of the Western Sahara-Sahel (WSS) and neighbouring countries across this region.
