This is the first detailed phylo(bio-)geographical study of animals with predominant distribution in the Somali-Masai region. It revealed currently underestimated diversity of eastern clade of Gerbilliscus and proposed a scenario of its evolution during Plio-Pleistocene. Conspicuous genetic structure of these taxa can be now used to test detailed phylogeographical hypotheses related to Plio-Pleistocene history of gerbils and, to some extent, also biota of Somali-Masai bioregion in general.
