Two mitochondrial lineages were identified: one grouped the two Moroccan individuals, and the other surprisingly grouped the Israeli individual with the third Moroccan individual. Their mitochondrial analysis suggested a strong differentiation among North African populations and gave support for recognition of two valid species, although Perez and colleagues cautioned that additional sampling was needed to confirm distinctiveness of the two groups. Results from their chromosomal analysis, however, was contradictory and did not support recognition of two species. Pending further integrative studies that include samples from additional Middle Eastern and North African populations,

Geographical variation has been documented in certain phenetic traits such as body size,tail color, and degree of inflation of auditory bullae. Monotypic.

Ventral pelage is predominantly white; sides of body and cheeks appear paler. Dorsal pelage is clearly delineated from ventral pelage. Head color generally matches that of dorsal pelage and becomes paler toward muzzle. Thick, conspicuous black eye mask extends from above and below ear pinnae, encircles eyes, and extends just to base of vibrissae; nose and lips are thinly haired and thus appear almost naked and pink. Ears are brown, long, and ovate; white pre-and postauricular patches are present. Hindfeet are white and moderately long, ¢.21% of head— body length. Tail is long, c.92% of head-body length. Dorsaltail color matches that of dorsal pelage for about one-third oftail length and then abruptly transitions to black and culminates in conspicuous white tuft. Ventral tail color is generally paler;tail color and pattern vary geographically. Greatest length of skull is 31-7-35-6 mm, zygomatic breadth is 18:6-20-1 mm, and upper tooth row length is 4-7 mm. External and cranial measurements listed are of specimens from Morocco. Chromosome numberis 2n = 46. Females have four pairs of nipples (I pectoral + 1 abdominal + 2 inguinal = 8).

Maghreb Garden Dormice are omnivorous. They eat insects,fruits, and eggs; they also likely prey on small vertebrates. In Tunisia, the Maghreb Garden Dormouse is reportedly a pest in fruit plantations, favoring pomegranate, and vegetable gardens of legumes, paprika, and eggplant; chicken eggs are likely consumed. Remains of insects and land snails have also been found near nest entrances in rocky fields and individuals have been observed capturing butterflies by springing into the air with both forelimbs stretched out in front.

Litter-sizes of Maghreb Garden Dormice are estimated to be 4-6 young, although as many as eight embryos have been recorded. Evidence suggests that reproduction begins in March and lasts until November at lower elevations and along the Mediterranean coast. Young remainin the nest for c¢.7 weeks. In northern Morocco, lactating females were captured in November; in Tunisia, pregnant females were recorded in March-April. In Tunisia, sex ratio was male-biased, which might have reflected a sampling artifact due to seasonal differences in activity between sexes.

Maghreb Garden Dormice are nocturnal. They enter torpor in response to low ambient temperature. It has been inferred that individuals that inhabit higher elevations hibernate, but at lower elevations they might be active all year—a hypothesis bolstered by capture of two individuals in January near Oran, Algeria. In Libya, G. L.. Ranck in 1968 stated that individuals were infrequently captured in winter when ambient temperatures at night often dropped below —1°C, and suggested that their seemingly low abundance might be explained by inactivity of torpid individuals. In Morocco, one individual was caught during a night when ambient temperature dropped below 0°C according to Moreno and Delibes in 1982.

Maghreb Garden Dormice are predominantly arboreal, partly terrestrial, and solitary. They nest in tree cavities, and freestanding nests have been found in several kinds oftrees, including tamarisk,olive, willow, poplar, and several species of palm. Maghreb Garden Dormice also construct nests in shrubs, small palms, and rarely prickly pear cactus, in rock crevices, caves, at bases of large rocks; nests have also been found in human dwellings in thatched roofs, alcoves, attics, and conduits of huts. Materials used to construct nests include grass, barley stems, palm fiber, goat hair, sheep wool, possibly dromedary wool, and even flower clusters of

Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Maghreb Garden Dormouse has a large distribution and does not face any known major conservation threats. It can be found in several protected areas, including Tubkal National Park in Morocco and Djurdjura National Park in northern Algeria.
