| [en] South East Asia displays a high level of mammal endemism and the
highest number of threatened and data deficient mammal species. However, the South East Asian biodiversity is still highly unexplored. Because of the runaway global changes, a better biological knowledge of this region is urgently required to improve the conservation and the management of its biodiversity. The first aim of this chapter is to present recent published data on a biodiversity inventory of the Rattini murine rodents from this region based on molecular markers (Page`s et al., 2009). In this first study, we applied the method proposed by Pons et al. (2006) that determines with no a priori the locations of ancestral nodes that define putative species in order to investigate the current taxonomy of the Rattini tribe. Our second aim concerns the intraspecific genetic structure of a rare and threatened South East Asian mammal species: the murine rodent Leopoldamys neilli, endemic to karst habitats . In this latter study, our results evidenced a high geographic structure of the genetic diversity of this species. The observed highly divergent genetic lineages would have to be considered as distinct evolutionary units or at least as Management units. These results are essential for the best conservation issues of species endemic to karsts and to South East Asia, in general. In this chapter, we therefore highlight that South East Asia would not be only a hotspot of interspecific but also of intraspecific biodiversity. | |
