Abstract
Three mechanisms have been proposed to explain the adaptive radiations and species diversifications of Madagascar’s biota: the ecogeographical constraint, the riverine barrier and the micro-endemism models. On the intraspecific level, each model predicts different patterns of gene flow across the island’s physical and ecological features. To evaluate these models, phylogeographical analyses were conducted on a widespread and endemic species of bat, Myotis goudoti (Vespertilionidae).
