Description:

Genetic allozyme and RAPD diversities were examined for ecological-genetic patterns in two rodents, the spiny-mouse Acomys cahirinus (Desmarest, 1819) and woodmouse Apodemus mystacinus (Danford and Alston, 1877), from the ecologically contrasting opposite slopes of the Lower Nahal Oren microsite, Mt. Carmel, Israel, designated by authors "Evolution Canyon". Likewise, morphological measurements were compared. Samples of both rodent species were collected from six stations: 3 (upper, middle and lower) on the "tropical" xeric South-facing sope (SFS) and 3 on the opposite "temperate" mesic North-facing slope (NFS) which vary dramatically physically and bioticaly.
