Fig. 1 in A new rodent species of the genus Mus (Rodentia: Muridae) confirms the biogeographical uniqueness of the isolated forests of southern Ethiopia

Fig. 1 (A) and (B) Summary of the distribution of native Ethiopian species of the genus Mus (i.e. excluding introduced commensal M. musculus) based on genetically confirmed records. The taxonomy follows Bryja et al. (2014). Selected major potential natural vegetation types in Ethiopia (based on Lillesø et al., 2011), relevant for this study, are shown by different background colours: Afromontane rain forests (green), Afroalpine vegetation and montane Ericaceous belt (light grey). The rest of background in the scale of grey indicates elevation (higher is darker). The records of DNA-barcoded specimens of eight species are shown by different symbols. More details (e.g. GPS coordinates and GenBank accession numbers) are in Supplementary Information 1. Mus harennensis sp. nov. is distributed only in two very moist rain forests, Harenna and Chingawa; Mus mahomet is widespread species across the Ethiopian Highlands; Mus proconodon is found at low elevation in savannah-like habitats; Mus imberbis is an Afroalpine specialist, easily distinguished by external mor-
