Colonization history of north European field voles (Microtus agrestis) revealed by mitochondrial DNA.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 1995

Jaarola M, Tegelström H

Abstract excerpt

The genetic structure of field vole (Microtus agrestis) populations from northern Europe was examined by restriction fragment length polymorphisms of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in 150 individuals from 67 localities. A total of 83 haplotypes was observed, most of which were rare and highly localize...
