Cryptic speciation in the field vole: a multilocus approach confirms three highly divergent lineages in Eurasia
Species are generally described from morphological features, but there is growing recognition of sister forms that show substantial genetic differentiation without obvious morphological variation and may therefore be considered 'cryptic species'. Here, we investigate the field vole (Microtus agrestis), a Eurasian mammal with little apparent morphological differentiation but which, on...Pauperio, J ; Herman, Jeremy S ; Melo-Ferraira, J ; Jaarola, M ; Alves, P C …

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...
