The complete mitochondrial genome of Sorex minutissimus (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Sorex minutissimus was sequenced and deposited to GeneBank for the first time using muscle tissue. This mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 16,700 bp in length and sequence analysis showed it

Molecular phylogeny and taxonomy of the genus Nectogale (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The elegant water shrew, Nectogale elegans, is one of the small mammal species most adapted to a semi‐aquatic lifestyle. The taxonomy of the genus Nectogale has received little attention due to difficulties in specimen collection.

Insights Into Tribal-Level Adaptive Evolution and Phylogeny in Soricinae From Mitogenome of the Chinese Endemic <i>Sorex cansulus</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study reveals that natural selection is the main force shaping the mitochondrial protein‐coding genes of zokors, with all five populations exhibiting strong purifying selection. Phylogenetic analysis and divergence time estimation strongly support the monophyly of the subfamily Soricinae, leading to key taxonomic revisions, including the ...

Phylogeny and Underground Adaptation of Eulipotyphla Revealed by Whole Genome Comparison Phylogeny and Adaptation of Eulipotyphla [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
Background: Phylogenetic relationships within Eulipotyphla have long been debated due to their complex evolutionary history and the frequent inconsistency among phylogenetic trees inferred from different data sources. This order comprises both above-ground and subterranean mammals, providing an opportunity to investigate their adaptation to hypoxic ...

Cryptotis nigrescens (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae)

Mammalian Species, 2023
Abstract The blackish small-eared shrew, Cryptotis nigrescens (Allen, 1895), is a blarinine soricid that occurs in high-elevation premontane wet forest and cloud forest in the Central American countries of Costa Rica and Panama. The species is taxonomically monotypic, although it exhibits size variation that manifests as a gradual ...
