Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the evolutionary significance of karyotypic characters in red-backed voles (Rodentia, Arvicolinae, genera Clethrionomys and Eothenomys) from northeastern Asia, we constructed phylogenetic trees based on intron 1 sequences (ca. 580 bp) of the X-linked gene G6pd. Phylogenetic trees, constructed using neighbor-joining and maximum-likelihood methods, revealed two major clades in red-backed voles...
