Informatic application to characterise and identify small mammal species: Arvicolinae (Cricetidae, Rodentia, Mammalia) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe classification of rodent species can be challenging due to high morphological similarities observed among them. This problem is further increased in palaeontological systematics, where classification is traditionally based on the molar morphology ...

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Three Species of the Genus Microtus (Arvicolinae, Rodentia) [PDF]
Animals, 2020 The 65 species of the genus Microtus have unusual sex-related genetic features and a high rate of karyotype variation. However, only nine complete mitogenomes for these species are currently available.

Signatures of Adaptation in Mitochondrial Genomes of Palearctic Subterranean Voles (Arvicolinae, Rodentia). [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2021 The current study evaluates the selection signals in the evolution of mitochondrial DNA of voles, subfamily Arvicolinae, during the colonization of subterranean environments. The comparative sequence analysis of mitochondrial protein-coding genes of eight subterranean vole species (Prometheomys schaposchnikowi, three species of the genus Ellobius: E ...
