9800944 Patton Using molecular genetic techniques and field studies, the investigators will examine how historic and current ecological and demographic factors have influenced the evolutionary diversification of Neotoma fuscipes, the dusky-footed woodrat. In two ecologically distinct regions, aspects of life history that affect the distribution of genetic variation within and among local populations will be studied. The distribution of genetic diversity throughout the entire species range will also be investigated. Studying both local and broad scale patterns of genetic variation will give unique insight into the diversification of this species and will add to understanding of the evolution of Californian biodiversity. Data from this study will also help guide the management of several subspecies of N. fuscipes that have special conservation status.

9800944 Patton 研究人员将利用分子遗传学技术和实地研究，研究历史和当前的生态和人口因素如何影响暗足林鼠Neotoma fuscipes的进化多样化。 在两个生态不同的地区，将研究影响当地人群内部和人群之间遗传变异分布的生活史方面。 还将调查整个物种范围内遗传多样性的分布。 研究遗传变异的局部和大范围模式将为该物种的多样化提供独特的见解，并将增加对加州生物多样性演变的理解。 这项研究的数据还将有助于指导具有特殊保护地位的黑猪笼草几个亚种的管理。
