“…Underside is light grey with a variable buff wash. Baculum is 3.45-4.25 mm long and 0.85-1.3 mm wide across the base (specimens from Finland; Artimo 1964). Sperm head is shorter (length=6.4-7.2 μm) than in C. rutilus and thickened at the base (Smirnov et al 2021). Skull shows no peculiarities (Figure 43); the posterior margin of the hard palate is continuous.…”

“…Baculum is long and slender; distal processes are relatively short; mean length of the proximal baculum is 2.9 mm in Alaska (Hooper & Hart 1962) and 2.5 mm in Japan (Yato & Motokawa 2021). Sperm head is longer (length=7.4-8.0 μm) than in C. glareolus and thinner at the base (Smirnov et al 2021). The skull tends to retain juvenile shape and molars develop roots at the age of ~5-6 months, i.e.…”

As the most species-rich group of Palaearctic rodents, voles and lemmings are frequently used in various research endeavours of fundamental and applied significance. The present work integrates achievements of the genomic era with the traditional taxonomy and provides an authoritative and up-to-date taxonomic guide to the animal group which is of great interest to experts engaged in medical zoology, epidemiology, biostratigraphy, zooarchaeology, evolutionary research, population ecology, animal systematics, biodiversity conservation, museum collection management and many more biological subdisciplines. The text is supplemented by 331 illustrations and over one thousand references. Depicted are morphological details of skull and dentition of each of the 128 species and their distributions are mapped in detail. The book will allow the user to interpret intelligently and cautiously the interrelationships among species of voles and lemmings and to follow the anticipated taxonomic change with a critical eye.
