Phylogeography of the striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius Pallas, 1771) in light of new data from central part of Northern Eurasia.

A phylogeographic analysis of A. agrarius based on the complete mtDNA cytochrome b and control region sequences has been performed using data obtained for the first time for the species from large regions of the central part of Northern Eurasia (23 localities of Altai, Western Siberia, and the Urals). The obtained results have demonstrated a complex intraspecific differentiation of A.

Genetic Diversity of Species of Microtus Generic Group (Arvicolinae, Rodentia): New Data from the Greater Caucasus.

Using the cytochrome b gene (1143 bp), species identification and the phylogenetic analysis of voles of the generic group Microtus from the eastern part of the Greater Caucasus, including the Ismayilli, Khizi, and Balakan Districts of Azerbaijan, have been carried out. Three species, the Major's pine vole (M. majori), the social vole (M.

Phylogenetic Relationships of Burbot (Lota lota L., 1758) of the Volga-Kama River Basin Inferred from the Analysis of Mitochondrial DNA Markers.

The phylogenetic relationships of burbot (Lota lota L., 1758) of the Volga-Kama River basin are reconstructed for the first time. The sequences of the gene cytochrome b and the mtDNA control region obtained for 44 samples from the Kama River and Mezhevaya Utka River (the Volga River tributaries) are studied.

[The genetic diversity of burbot (Lota lota L., 1758) of Western Siberia (the analysis of the mtDNA control region polymorphism)].

The genetic variability of burbot (Lota lota L., 1758) inhabiting the Ob-Irtysh and Taz river basins in Western Siberia has been studied based on the polymorphism of the hypervariable fragment of mtDNA control region (407 bp). The analysis of 134 fish samples revealed 30 haplotypes, 23 of which were new.

First data on genetic diversity of burbot (Lota lota L.) in the Western Siberian.

Analysis of genetic diversity of burbot (Lota lota Linneus, 1758) mitochondrial control region (mtCR) haplotypes from geographically distant localities in the Ob-Irtysh River basin in comparison with distribution of known burbot haplotypes was conducted. mtCR fragments from burbot samples, obtained in two localities (longitudinal part of the Irtysh near Tobolsk and the Sob River, a left-bank tributary of the Ob River), were sequenced.
