About the Book

The house mouse is the source of almost all genetic variation in laboratory mice; its genome was sequenced alongside that of humans, and it has become the model for mammalian speciation. Featuring contributions from leaders in the field, this volume provides the evolutionary context necessary to interpret these patterns and processes in the age of genomics. The topics reviewed include mouse phylogeny, phylogeography, origins of commensalism, adaptation, and dynamics of secondary contacts between subspecies. Explorations of mouse behaviour cover the nature of chemical and ultrasonic signalling, recognition, and social environment. The importance of the mouse as an evolutionary model is highlighted in reviews of the first described example of meiotic drive (t-haplotype) and the first identified mammalian speciation gene (Prdm9). This detailed overview of house mouse evolution is a valuable resource for researchers of mouse biology as well as those interested in mouse genetics, evolutionary biology, behaviour, parasitology, and archaeozoology.

About the Author :
Miloš Macholán is a senior scientist and head of the Laboratory of Mammalian Evolutionary Genetics at the Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, and Professor of Zoology at Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic. He is a recipient of the Otto Wichterle Award for outstanding young scientists. Stuart J. E. Baird is Associate Professor at the Research Centre for Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (CIBIO), University of Porto, Portugal, and Chargé de Recherche (première classe), INRA, France. He has studied hybridisation on four continents and his current research interests include spatial genetics, speciation and inference from genomic data. Pavel Munclinger is head of the Department of Zoology at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. He teaches molecular ecology and evolutionary genetics and is particularly interested in mouse transposons and hybrid zones. Jaroslav Piálek is a senior scientist at the Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Brno. He has developed dozens of wild-derived house mouse strains to study the evolution of genetic incompatibilities at incipient stages of speciation in two European mouse subspecies.
