  abstract = {{T}he {M}editerranean {B}asin is an acknowledged hotspot for biodiversity, yet historical processes that shaped this biodiversity in {N}orth {A}frica remain poorly understood. {T}his study aimed to elucidate the phylogeographic pattern of an endemic species of {M}editerranean areas of {N}orth {A}frica, the {G}reater {E}gyptian {J}erboa, {J}aculus orientalis. {T}he extent of phylogeographic patterns and molecular genetic diversity (mitochondrial cytochrome b gene) were addressed in a survey of 45 jerboas from 24 localities. {O}ur phylogeographical analyses show a strong genetic subdivision into three areas along a west-east axis, corresponding to (1) {M}orocco and western {A}lgeria; (2) eastern {A}lgeria, {T}unisia and western {L}ibya; (3) eastern {L}ibya and {E}gypt. {D}emographic analyses revealed different modalities of population expansion since the last glacial age depending on geographic areas. {T}he dating using relaxed molecular clock analyses revealed that most splits occurred during the {Q}uaternary (<1 million of years ago). {F}inally, we discussed the relative roles of geological and climatic change in generating this pattern of genetic structure observed for the {G}reater {E}gyptian {J}erboa and other vegetal and animal species in {N}orth {A}frica.},
