[Display omitted] •The basal split in the genealogy of Reithrodontomys sumichrasti coincides with the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.•Clades recovered largely correspond to mountain ranges within Mesoamerica.•Populations of Sumichrast’s harvest mouse in Costa Rica and Panama likely represent a separate biol...
