  abstract = {{P}opulation genetic approaches may be used to investigate dispersal patterns of species living in highly urbanized environment in order to improve management strategies for biodiversity conservation or pest control. {H}owever, in such environment, population genetic structure may reflect both current features of the cityscape and urbanization history. {T}his can be especially relevant when focusing on exotic commensal rodents that have been introduced in numerous primary colonial {E}uropean settlements. {A}ccounting for spatial and temporal cityscape heterogeneity to determine how past and recent demographic events may interplay to shape current population genetic structure of synanthropic rodents may provide useful insights to manage their populations. {I}n this study, we addressed these issues by focusing on the house mouse, {M}us musculus domesticus, in {D}akar, {S}enegal, where the species may have been introduced as soon as {E}uropeans settled in the middle of the nineteenth century. {W}e examined genetic variation at one mitochondrial locus and 15 nuclear microsatellite markers from individuals sampled in 14 sampling sites representing different stages of urbanization history and different socio-economic environments in {D}akar. {W}e used various approaches, including model-based genetic clustering and model-free smoothing of pairwise genetic estimates. {W}e further linked observed spatial genetic patterns to historical and current features of {D}akar cityscape using random forest and {B}ayesian conditional autoregressive models. {R}esults are consistent with an introduction of the house mouse at colonial time and the current genetic structure exhibits a gradient-like pattern reflecting the historical process of spatially continuous expansion of the city from the first {E}uropean settlement. {T}he genetic patterns further suggest that population dynamics of the house mouse is also driven by the spatial heterogeneity of the current cityscape, including socio-economics features, that translate in habitat quality. {O}ur results highlight the potential importance of accounting for past demographic events to understand spatial genetic patterns of nonnative invasive commensal rodents in highly urbanized environment.},
