  abstract = {{B}lack rats are major invasive vertebrate pests with severe ecological, economic and health impacts. {R}emarkably, their evolutionary history has received little attention, and there is no firm agreement on how many species should be recognized within the black rat complex. {T}his species complex is native to {I}ndia and {S}outheast {A}sia. {A}ccording to current taxonomic classification, there are three taxa living in sympatry in several parts of {T}hailand, {C}ambodia and {L}ao {P}eople's {D}emocratic {R}epublic, where this study was conducted: two accepted species ({R}attus tanezumi, {R}attus sakeratensis) and an additional mitochondrial lineage of unclear taxonomic status referred to here as {R}attus {R}3. {W}e used extensive sampling, morphological data and diverse genetic markers differing in rates of evolution and parental inheritance (two mitochondrial {DNA} genes, one nuclear gene and eight microsatellite loci) to assess the reproductive isolation of these three taxa. {T}wo close {A}sian relatives, {R}attus argentiventer and {R}attus exulans, were also included in the genetic analyses. {G}enetic analyses revealed discordance between the mitochondrial and nuclear data. {M}itochondrial phylogeny studies identified three reciprocally monophyletic clades in the black rat complex. {H}owever, studies of the phylogeny of the nuclear exon interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein gene and clustering and assignation analyses with eight microsatellites failed to separate {R}. tanezumi and {R}3. {M}orphometric analyses were consistent with nuclear data. {T}he incongruence between mitochondrial and nuclear (and morphological) data rendered {R}. tanezumi/{R}3 paraphyletic for mitochondrial lineages with respect to {R}. sakeratensis. {V}arious evolutionary processes, such as shared ancestral polymorphism and incomplete lineage sorting or hybridization with massive mitochondrial introgression between species, may account for this unusual genetic pattern in mammals.},
