  abstract = {{T}he biogeographic dynamics affecting the {I}ndian subcontinent, {E}ast and {S}outheast {A}sia during the {P}lio-{P}leistocene has generated complex biodiversity patterns. {W}e assessed the molecular biogeography of the small {I}ndian civet ({V}iverricula indica) through mitogenome and cytochrome b + control region sequencing of 89 historical and modern samples to (1) establish a time-calibrated phylogeography across the species' native range and (2) test introduction scenarios to western {I}ndian {O}cean islands. {B}ayesian phylogenetic analyses identified 3 geographic lineages ({E}ast {A}sia, sister-group to {S}outheast {A}sia and the {I}ndian subcontinent + northern {I}ndochina) diverging 3.2-2.3 million years ago ({M}ya), with no clear signature of past demographic expansion. {W}ithin {S}outheast {A}sia, {B}alinese populations separated from the rest 2.6-1.3 {M}ya. {W}estern {I}ndian {O}cean populations were assigned to the {I}ndian subcontinent + northern {I}ndochina lineage and had the lowest mitochondrial diversity. {A}pproximate {B}ayesian computation did not distinguish between single versus multiple introduction scenarios. {T}he early diversification of the small {I}ndian civet was likely shaped by humid periods in the {L}ate {P}liocene-{E}arly {P}leistocene that created evergreen rainforest barriers, generating areas of intra-specific endemism in the {I}ndian subcontinent, {E}ast, and {S}outheast {A}sia. {L}ater, {P}leistocene dispersals through drier conditions in {S}outh and {S}outheast {A}sia were likely, giving rise to the species' current natural distribution. {O}ur molecular data supported the delineation of only 4 subspecies in {V}. indica, including an endemic {B}alinese lineage. {O}ur study also highlighted the influence of prefirst millennium {AD} introductions to western {I}ndian {O}cean islands, with {I}ndian and/or {A}rab traders probably introducing the species for its civet oil.},
