  abstract = {{A}im {T}o investigate the phylogeographical structure of the {G}uinea multimammate mouse, {M}astomys erythroleucus ({T}emminck, 1853), a widespread murid rodent in sub-{S}aharan ({S}ahel and {S}udan) savannas, for a better understanding of the impacts of geographical and historical factors on the evolutionary history of this species, in the context of the growing database of phylogeographical studies of {A}frican savanna mammal species. {L}ocation {S}ahel and {S}udan savannas, {A}frica. {M}ethods {W}e sequenced the whole cytochrome b gene in 211 individuals from 59 localities distributed from {S}enegal to {E}thiopia. {S}equence data were analysed using both phylogenetic (several rooted tree-construction methods, median-joining networks) and population genetic methods (spatial analyses of molecular variance, mismatch distributions). {R}esults {H}aplotypes were distributed into four major monophyletic groups corresponding to distinct geographical regions across a west-east axis. {D}iversification events were estimated to have occurred between 1.16 and 0.18 {M}a. {M}ain conclusions {V}icariance events related to the fragmentation of savanna habitats during the {P}leistocene era may explain the phylogeographical patterns observed. {G}enetic structure was consistent with a role of major {S}ahelian rivers as significant barriers to west-east dispersal. {R}ecent demographic expansions probably occurred during arid phases of the {H}olocene with the southward expansion of savannas.},
