Genus Arvicanthis

The only genetically confirmed Arvicanthis species in the AM was A. blicki , which was only trapped at 3800 m a.s.l. in the Badda region (site 5). Molecular analysis indicated a low genetic difference between AM and BM A. blicki populations (Table 2). Two other Arvicanthis species reported by Kasso et al. (2010) from lower elevations in the AM ( A. abyssinicus and A. dembeensis ) still require genetic confirmation.
