The complete mitochondrial genome of Proedromys bedfordi Thomas 1911 (Arvicolinae, Rodentia). [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA B Resour
The Duke of Bedford’s vole (Proedromys bedfordi Thomas 1911) is distributed only at the border areas of the Sichuan and Gansu Provinces, China. In this study, the first complete mitochondrial genome of P. bedfordi is generated and characterized. The assembled genome is 16,262 base pairs in length and the base compositions present clearly the A-T bias ...

A new perspective on the taxonomy and systematics of Arvicolinae (Gray, 1821) and a new time-calibrated phylogeny for the clade. [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Arvicoline rodents are one of the most speciose and rapidly evolving mammalian lineages. Fossil arvicolines are also among the most common vertebrate fossils found in sites of Pliocene and Pleistocene age in Eurasia and North America. However,

Geometric Morphometrics of the Cranium and Mandible in Social Voles of the “Guentheri” Group (Arvicolinae: Sumeriomys) [PDF]

Diversity, 2023
We analyzed the cranium dorsal projection and the mandible lateral projection in bone specimens from five Microtus guentheri and Microtus hartingi forms by geometric morphometrics (GM) methods (generalized Procrustes analysis, principal component ...

Insights on the evolution of the tribe Pliomyini (Arvicolinae, Rodentia): Ancient DNA from the extinct Pliomys lenki [PDF]

Palaeontologia Electronica
The partially unresolved phylogeny of the Arvicolinae subfamily has been a recurrent topic of discussion in scientific papers. Among the species belonging to this subfamily, Dinaromys bogdanovi is one of the species with an unclear phylogenetic position.

Parasites in brains of wild rodents (Arvicolinae and Murinae) in the city of Leipzig, Germany

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
Small rodents serve as intermediate or paratenic hosts for a variety of parasites and may participate in the transmission of these parasites into synanthropic cycles. Parasites with neuroinvasive stages, such as Toxoplasma gondii or Toxocara canis, can cause detrimental damage in the brain of intermediate or paratenic hosts.

Voles (Arvicolinae) in the collection of the Laboratory of Population Ecology, Institute of Zoology, NAS of Ukraine [PDF]

Proceedings of the Theriological School, 2016
Basic information about the collection of vole skulls stored in population ecology laboratory of the Institute of Zoology, NAS of Ukraine is given. In total, there are more than 12,000 skulls of 23 arvicolid species stored in the laboratory. They were collected not only in Ukraine, but also in adjacent countries (Poland, Romania), as well as in ...

Resolving Rapid Radiation of Voles and Lemmings (Arvicolinae: Cricetinae, Rodentia) with QuaddRAD Sequencing and Transcriptome Analysis

Diversity
Voles and lemmings (subfamily Arvicolinae) remain some of the most difficult groups for disentangling phylogenetic relations owing to recent and very fast explosive radiation.

Phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic position of genus Hyperacrius (Rodentia: Arvicolinae) from Kashmir based on evidences from analysis of mitochondrial genome and study of skull morphology. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
In this article, we present the nearly complete mitochondrial genome of the Subalpine Kashmir vole Hyperacrius fertilis (Arvicolinae, Cricetidae, Rodentia), assembled using data from Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the DNA from a century-old
