  abstract = {{T}he murid rodent {P}raomys daltoni is widespread in {S}udanian savanna and woodlands of {W}est {A}frica, and previous study of mitochondrial {DNA} variability suggested that it encompasses the phenotypically (small, grey-bellied) and ecologically (commensal) distinct form, {P}raomys derooi. {H}ere, we comprehensively examined the genetic and morphological diversity within the complex. {S}ix mitochondrial lineages showed a fine-scale phylogeographical pattern, whereas delimitation based on nuclear loci pooled four of them into a single widespread unit. {A} newly discovered lineage from southern {M}auritania stands apart from the rest of the complex and might represent an unrecognized species. {A}t the same time, the internal position of {P}. derooi ({C}2 mitochondrial lineage) was confirmed by the multilocus analysis. {T}he magnitude of genetic distances between major phylogeographical lineages was typical for interspecific divergence in other clades of {P}raomys, despite the little differences among them in morphology (skull and upper molar row shapes). {T}he most pronounced morphological shift was associated with a transition to commensalism, especially in {P}. derooi, but also in other lineages. {T}his makes the whole complex a suitable model for the study of phenotypic novelty, the evolution of commensalism and conditions for ecological speciation.},
