Early Pliocene Arvicolinae and Cricetinae from the locality of Afşar, western Turkey
: The Afşar section, situated in the Dombayova graben in western Turkey, is one of the key localities for the study of the Pliocene of Anatolia. Two fossiliferous layers yielded micromammal assemblages, including various cricetine and arvicoline species.

A Rare Mitochondrial Genome of Albino Eothenomys eleusis Thomas 1911 (Cricetidae: Arvicolinae) from Southeastern Yunnan, China and its phylogenetic Analysis [PDF]
Background: Animal body color was crucial for genetics and evolution, among which albinism was the result of genetic mutations and there were multiple genetic mechanisms that impede melanin synthesis, thereby affecting animal survival.

A new species of Alticola (Mammalia, Rodentia, Arvicolinae) from southern Tibet, China [PDF]
The complex topography and diverse habitats of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have made it a center of speciation and evolution for various taxa, including small mammals. Our surveys in 2008 and 2023 on the southern part of the plateau discovered a population

Chromosome Asynapsis Is the Main Cause of Male Sterility in the Interspecies Hybrids of East Asian Voles (Alexandromys, Rodentia, Arvicolinae). [PDF]
Closely related mammalian species often have differences in chromosome number and morphology, but there is still a debate about how these differences relate to reproductive isolation.
