Description
Seven authors, led by Tongtong Gu, read in 2026 the full mitochondrial genomes of tree shrews across China to map their family structure. These small mammals vary in form and range, and their subspecies borders are disputed. Sixty three animals from twelve populations gave their full mother's line gene sets.
Family trees split the animals into four branches with strong ties to place. Three branches match named local subspecies, while several old named forms merge into one broad mainland branch. Split times reach back to an era of major land shifts. Past population growth differed between mainland and island lines.
