“…2002). Both morphological and molecular data have shown that A. mystacinus , as presently defined, consists of two separate species, one present in the western ( Apodemus epimelas ) and the other in the eastern parts of the range (Storch 1977; Filippucci et al. 2002; Michaux et al.…”

“…Several studies concerning Apodemus phylogeny have been published recently; most of them focus on the European and Near East species and use biomolecular methods. Allozyme analysis was one of the first biomolecular methods used by many authors for species characterization but its resolution is too low to untangle Apodemus phylogeny (Filippucci et al. 2002).…”

The sequences of the mitochondrial DNA control region (D-loop) and flanking tRNA genes (about 1000 bp) of 20 samples of wood mice (genus Apodemus) were analyzed in order to clarify the relationships between different species belonging to the genus. The phylogenetic trees obtained using different methods showed similar topologies with distinct Karstomys (Apodemus epimelas and Apodemus mystacinus) and Sylvaemus (Apodemus alpicola, Apodemus flavicollis, Apodemus hermonensis, Apodemus sylvaticus and Apodemus uralensis) subtrees. Within Sylvaemus all species appeared to be closely related to each other, probably as result of a bush-like radiation event. Nevertheless, A. hermonensis seemed to be the first diverging branch followed by A. sylvaticus; A. alpicola and A. flavicollis appeared to be very closely related. Three individuals of uncertain taxonomical status were included in the analysis: hypotheses as to their status are discussed. Further phylogenetic analysis was carried out combining the D-loop sequences of part of the samples of certain taxonomical status with 12S rRNA and cytochrome b sequences obtained by other researchers. Furthermore, I present a structure analysis of the D-loop in Apodemus as compared other rodent species.

“…Populations of the rocky mouse, Apodemus mystacinus, have similar karyotypes both in the Balkans and Asia Minor; extraordinarily deep genetic divergence was found between them, however (Filippucci et al, 2002). Another species distributed both in the Balkans and Asia Minor is the Guenther's vole, Microtus guentheri.…”
