Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Three Species of the Genus Microtus (Arvicolinae, Rodentia)
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.

Hantaviruses are the causative agents of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas. In Central and South America, 28 hantavirus lineages were associated with different Sigmodontinae rodents. Of these, Lechiguanas hantavirus was initially described as a lineage associated with HPS cases in the central region of Argentina.

The evolutionary history of a mammal species with a highly fragmented range: the phylogeography of the European snow vole. [PDF]
The European snow vole Chionomys nivalis has a patchy distribution restricted to rocky habitats across southern Europe and the Near and Middle East. We carried out a phylogeographic study to provide a biogeographic scenario, based on molecular data ...

In a two‐choice laboratory experiment, the chemical compounds 2‐phenylethylamine and 2‐propylthietane were the most effective in triggering avoidance‐related behaviors in bank voles, regardless of their dose. Indole showed modest results, whereas heptanal and 2,5‐dihydro‐2,4,5‐trimethylthiazoline (TMT) did not show the anticipated defense‐related ...

The Karaman vole Microtus irani karamani is a new record for Iran (Arvicolinae; Microtus) [PDF]
We studied 1038 bp of cytochrome b gene for social voles from three localities in Iran. The new sequences were compared with the previous published data correspond to eight species of social voles.

Evolution of protamine genes and changes in sperm head phenotype in rodents [PDF]
Little is known about the genetic basis of evolutionary changes in sperm phenotype. Postcopulatory sexual selection is associated with differences in protamine gene sequences and promoters and is a powerful force acting on sperm form and function ...

Intraspecies multiple chromosomal variations including rare tandem fusion in the Russian Far Eastern endemic evoron vole Alexandromys evoronensis (Rodentia, Arvicolinae) [PDF]
The vole Alexandromys evoronensis (Kovalskaya et Sokolov, 1980) with its two chromosomal races, “Evoron” (2n = 38–41, NF = 54–59) and “Argi” (2n = 34, 36, 37, NF = 51–56) is the endemic vole found in the Russian Far East. For the “Argi” chromosomal race,

Biochronological data for the Early Pleistocene site of Quibas (SE Spain) inferred from rodent assemblage [PDF]
In this paper, the rodent fauna from the Early Pleistocene of Gruta1 (Quibas karstic complex, Murcia, SE Spain) is described. The assemblage includes one arvicoline (Allophaiomys sp.), two murines (Apodemus ex gr.
