New Records of the Afghan Vole, Blanfordimys afghanus (Rodentia: Arvicolinae) from North-East of Khorassan, Iran [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2005 The Afghan vole had not been reported from north-eastern Iran until for the first time its presence was confirmed by examining the pellets of predatory birds from Dargaz, Kalat, Sarakhs and the vicinity of Mashhad through studying the molar teeth.

Evolutionary rearrangements of X chromosomes in voles (Arvicolinae, Rodentia) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractEuchromatic segments of the X chromosomes of placental mammals are the most conservative elements of the karyotype, only rarely subjected to either inter- or intrachromosomal rearrangements. Here, using microdissection-derived set of region-specific probes of Terricola savii we detailed the evolutionary rearrangements found in X chromosomes in ...

Do Snow-Adapted Prey Facilitate Coexistence of the Sierra Nevada Red Fox With Sympatric Carnivores? [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Specialist species in alpine ecosystems may be increasingly threatened by climate‐driven habitat loss and encroachment by generalist competitors. Ecological theory predicts that niche differentiation through dietary specialisation can facilitate coexistence with generalist competitors.

Voles and Lemmings (Arvicolinae) of the Palaearctic Region
, 2022 As the most species-rich group of Palaearctic rodents, voles and lemmings are frequently used in various research endeavours of fundamental and applied significance. The present work integrates achievements of the genomic era with the traditional taxonomy and provides an authoritative and up-to-date taxonomic guide to the animal group which is of great
