Climate and refugial origin influence the mitochondrial lineage distribution of weasels (Mustela nivalis) in a phylogeographic suture zone
Overarching trends can be seen in European mammalian phylogeography, yet it is clear that species responded differently depending on adaptations to past environments. We built upon previous work on the phylogeography of weasels (Mustela nivalis) in Europe by using well-preserved museum specimens from a proposed phylogeographic suture zone. The complete...McDevitt, Allan D ; Zub, Karol ; Kawalko, Agata ; Oliver, Matthew K ; Herman, Jeremy S …

Post-glacial colonization of eastern Europe by the wood mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus: evidence of a northern refugium and dispersal with humans
The wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus is an opportunistic rodent that is found throughout most of the European mainland. It is present on many islands around the margins of the continent and in northern Africa. The species has been the subject of previous phylogeographical studies, although these have focussed on the... -

Post-glacial colonization of eastern Europe by small mammals that survived in the Carpathian refugium: evidence from mitochondrial DNA of the common vole
There is now considerable evidence for the survival of temperate species within glacial refugia that were situated at relatively high latitudes, notably the Carpathian Basin and Dordogne region in Europe. However, the prevalence of fossil remains in such locations is rarely matched by molecular evidence for their contribution to subsequent...Stojak, Joanna ; McDevitt, Allan D ; Herman, Jeremy S ; Searle, Jeremy B ; Wójcik, Jan M
