TL;DR: The results suggest that a recent and widespread cytb replacement event in the continental source area purged cytb variation there, whereas the ancestral diversity is largely retained in the colonized islands as a genetic ‘ark’.
Island colonization and founder effects: the invasion of the Guadeloupe islands by ship rats (Rattus rattus).
TL;DR: The results indicate that rats were introduced on Guadeloupe first, which then became the source population for independent secondary colonization of Fajou and Petite‐Terre, and could be interpreted as the remaining signature of the early introduction of the ship rat in the archipelago.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the dental phenotype of modern and ancient common voles (Microtus arvalis) introduced onto the Orkney archipelago (Scotland) from continental Europe some 5000 years ago.

Genetic structure and functioning of alien ship rat populations from a Corsican micro-insular complex
TL;DR: A genetic study using eight microsatellite markers has revealed some of the dynamics of the introduced ship rat population on the Lavezzi Mediterranean archipelago and shows that rats are likely to swim between the main island and the islets quite regularly since no clear genetic differentiation has been detected between them.
