We have reanalyzed the levels of observed heterozygosity based on old and new material of small mammals in attempt to retest the environmental theory of genetic diversity or the niche-width variation hypothesis. This study involves old and new material of 184 small mammalian species both insectivores and rodents; 111 living aboveground and 73 species living partly (fossorial, N = 28) or totally (subterranean, N =...
