The garden dormouse Eliomys quercinus is a poorly known Western Palearctic species experiencing global decline. Even though the availability of genetic information key to assess driversunderlying demographic changes in wild populations and plan adequate management, data on E. are still scant. In this study, we reconstructed complete mitogenomes four individuals from southern Spain using in–solution enriched libraries, found evidence limited variability. We then compared their cytochrome b sequences those conspecifics other countries supported divergent but genetically depauperate position evolutionarily significant unit (ESU). produced will assist future conservation studies little–studied rodent.
