Mitochondrial gene diversity in the common vole Microtus arvalis shaped by historical divergence and local adaptations.

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2004

Fink Sabine, Excoffier Laurent, Heckel Gerald

Abstract excerpt

The phylogeography of the common vole (Microtus arvalis) was examined by analysing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation in 1044 base pairs (bp) of the cytochrome b (cytb) gene and in 322 bp of the control region (ctr) among 106 individuals from 58 locations. The geographical distribution of four previously recognized cytb evolutionary lineages in Europe was refined and a new lineage was found in southern...
