We assessed the population and/or phylogenetic structure of a small mammal, the mountain treeshrew, across a small geographic scale, and large elevational gradient. We collected samples from two field seasons to Sabah, Malaysia, and enriched the DNA through in-solution hybridization for a panel of UltraConserved Elements (UCEs).
Additionally, we amplified the complete mitochondrial genome. The large dataset generated here provides insight into the limits of 'universal' phylogenetic markers on recently diverged species
