Meiosis in gray voles of the subgenus Microtus (Rodentia, Arvicolinae) and in their hybrids
Russian Journal of Genetics, 2011The results of light and electron microscopic (EM) studies of meiosis in Microtus arvalis males of the karyoform "arvalis" (2n = 46, NFa = 80), in hybrids between the chromosomal forms arvalis and obscurus (2n = 46, NFa = 68), in M. rossiaemeridionalis voles (2n = 54, NFa = 54), and in a hybrid between the species M.

Phylogeny of Oriental Voles (Rodentia: Muridae: Arvicolinae): Molecular and Morphological Evidence
Zoological Science, 2012The systematics of Oriental voles remains controversial despite numerous previous studies. In this study, we explore the systematics of all species of Oriental voles, except Eothenomys wardi, using a combination of DNA sequences and morphological data.

Chromosome Polymorphism in Microtus (Alexandromys) mujanensis (Arvicolinae, Rodentia).
Cytogenetic and genome research, 2016The Muya Valley vole (Microtus mujanensis) has a constant diploid chromosome number of 2n = 38, but an unstable karyotype with polymorphic chromosome pairs. Here, we describe 4 karyotypic variants involving 2 polymorphic chromosome pairs, MMUJ8 and MMUJ14, in 6 animals from Buryatia using a combination of GTG-banding and chromosome painting with M ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of Lasiopodomys mandarinus mandarinus (Arvicolinae, Rodentia)
Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2015Mandarin voles (Lasiopodomys mandarinus) is a subterranean rodent species that are often used as a model for studying subterranean hypoxic stress in mammals. Its subspecies L. m. mandarinus span in cropland in most area of north China and is regarded as an agricultural pest. In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of L. m.

The genus Iberomys (Chaline,1972) (Rodentia, Arvicolinae, Mammalia) in the Pleistocene of Italy
Italian Journal of Geosciences, 2015The occurrence of the genus Iberomys is testified in Italy and the Iberian Peninsula from the Early Pleistocene on. The genus comprises two extinct voles: I. huescarensis from the Early Pleistocene to the early Middle Pleistocene and I. brecciensis (=mediterraneus) from the Middle to the early Late Pleistocene. I.

Radiation events in the subfamily Arvicolinae (Rodentia): Evidence from nuclear genes
Doklady Biological Sciences, 2009Voles and lemmings (subfamily Arvicolinae) areone of the youngest and speciesrich groups of myomorphic rodents prevailing in different landscapezones of the northern hemisphere. Because of unprecedented fossil records, as well as rapid and continuingmorphogenesis, they became leading forms in correlation and biostratigraphy of late Cenozoic ...

Multilocus systematics and non-punctuated evolution of Holarctic Myodini (Rodentia: Arvicolinae)
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2014The tribe Myodini consists of five genera of forest and alpine voles (Alticola, Caryomys, Eothenomys, Hyperacrius and Myodes) distributed throughout the Holarctic. Because mitochondrial evidence has revealed paraphyly and polyphyly among genera, we apply the first multilocus tests to clarify taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships.

Population dynamics and spatial behaviour of Microtus tatricus (Arvicolinae, Rodentia)
Acta Theriologica, 2010The population dynamics of the Tatra vole Microtus tatricus (Kratochvil, 1952) (Arvicolinae, Rodentia) was monitored as part of a long-term study (1996–2008) of demography of small mammals conducted in Western Tatra Mountains—Rohace, Slovakia. We observed low abundance and population densities and a balanced sex ratio but slightly more frequent ...
