  abstract = {{K}nowledge of the genetic make-up and demographic history of invasive populations is critical to understand invasion mechanisms. {C}ommensal rodents are ideal models to study whether complex invasion histories are typical of introductions involving human activities. {T}he house mouse {M}us musculus domesticus is a major invasive synanthropic rodent originating from {S}outh-{W}est {A}sia. {I}t has been largely studied in {E}urope and on several remote islands, but the genetic structure and invasion history of this taxon have been little investigated in several continental areas, including {W}est {A}frica. {I}n this study, we focussed on invasive populations of {M}. m. domesticus in {S}enegal. {I}n this focal area for {E}uropean settlers, the distribution area and invasion spread of the house mouse is documented by decades of data on commensal rodent communities. {G}enetic variation at one mitochondrial locus and 16 nuclear microsatellite markers was analysed from individuals sampled in 36 sites distributed across the country. {A} combination of phylogeographic and population genetics methods showed that there was a single introduction event on the northern coast of {S}enegal, from an exogenous (probably {W}est {E}uropean) source, followed by a secondary introduction from northern {S}enegal into a coastal site further south. {T}he geographic locations of these introduction sites were consistent with the colonial history of {S}enegal. {O}verall, the marked microsatellite genetic structure observed in {S}enegal, even between sites located close together, revealed a complex interplay of different demographic processes occurring during house mouse spatial expansion, including sequential founder effects and stratified dispersal due to human transport along major roads.},
