Lasionycteris noctivagans mitochondrial genomes raw data

The geographic distributions of eastern and western Lasionycteris
noctivagans populations suggest they could be geneticially isolated from
each other, but this has rarely been assessed using genetic data. Here, we
evaluate this possibility by sequencing the complete mitochondrial genome
of four silver-haired bats from eastern and western populations. The three
usable mitogenomes were closely associated with other Vespertilionid bats
and the phylogenetic tree revealed the two western individuals grouping
together to form their own clade. Our results support the idea that small
but significant genetic differences exist between eastern and western
populations of these bats.
