“…Although our new morphological characters do not resolve Scaptochirus and Parascaptor as sister groups, as in this most recent molecular hypothesis, they do help to recover a monophyletic clade of Parascaptor, Mogera, Scaptochirus, and Talpa. This group was not recovered by S anchez-Villagra et al (2006) but is a hypothesis consistent with He et al (2014) and many other phylogenies (e.g., Cabria et al, 2006;Shinohara et al, 2008;Crumpton and Thompson, 2013). The topology of He et al (2014) is presently the standard for talpin systematics, due to its extensive character and taxon sampling.…”

However, only with species level sampling of molecular, morphological, and paleontological data will a complete understanding of this clade of highly fossorial talpids be reached.…”

“…In contrast to S anchez-Villagra et al (2006), most molecular data sets suggest that Mogera and Euroscaptor are sister taxa, to the exclusion of Talpa (Yates and Moore, 1990;Tsuchiya et al, 2000;Shinohara et al, 2003Shinohara et al, , 2004Shinohara et al, , 2005Shinohara et al, , 2008Cabria et al, 2006;Colangelo et al, 2010). Furthermore, the genus Euroscaptor is often found to be paraphyletic in both molecular (Shinohara et al, 2005(Shinohara et al, , 2008Colangelo et al, 2010;Crumpton and Thompson, 2013;He et al, 2014) and morphological (Motokawa, 2004) studies, whereas both Parascaptor and Scaptochirus are little studied; the former has only recently been included in a molecular phylogeny (He et al, 2014). In this study, the interrelationships of the Talpini are investigated using a relatively large molecular data set (»10 kb) that also supports the paraphyly of Euroscaptor and a sister-group relationship between Scaptochirus and Parascaptor, which themselves form nested sister clades with Euroscaptor (to the exclusion of E. mizura), Mogera, E. mizura, and finally Talpa.…”

“…BPP molecular species delimitation approaches have been developed and widely used in mammals [24, 25], amphibians [26, 27], and reptiles [28, 29]. It should be noted that the biological species concept associated with BPP may not be true in practice [30], and that simulations showed that BPP is robust in the case of incomplete lineage sorting but sensitive to hybridization.…”

Background Niviventer is a genus of white-bellied rats that are among the most common rodents in the Indo-Sundaic region. The taxonomy of the genus has undergone extensive revisions and remains controversial. The current phylogeny is unresolved and was developed primarily on the basis of mitochondrial genes. Identification is extremely difficult, and a large number of GenBank sequences seem to be problematic. We extensively sampled specimens of Niviventer in China and neighboring northern Vietnam, including topotypes of the most reported species (n = 6), subspecies (n = 8), and synonyms (n = 4). We estimated phylogenetic relationships on the basis of one mitochondrial and three nuclear genes, using concatenation and coalescent-based approaches. We also employed molecular species delimitation approaches to test the existence of cryptic and putative new species.ResultsOur phylogeny was finely resolved, especially for the N. confucianus-like species. Our data provided the first support for N. brahma and N. eha as sister species, an assignment that is congruent with their morphological similarities. Species delimitation analyses provided new insight into species diversity and systematics. Three geographic populations of N. confucianus and one of N. fulvescens were supported as genetically distinct in our species delimitation analyses, while three recognized species (N. coninga, N. huang, and N. lotipes) were not strongly supported as distinct.ConclusionsOur results suggested that several genetically distinct species may be contained within the species currently known as N. confucianus and N. fulvescens. In addition, the results of Bayesian Phylogenetics and Phylogeography (BPP) for N. coninga, N. huang, and N. lotipes indicated that either inter-specific gene flow had occurred or imperfect taxonomy was present. Morphological examinations and morphometric analyses are warranted to examine the molecular results.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12862-016-0832-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…It has been shown that the Ussuri mole can be distinguished from the M. wogura sensu stricto by its large body size (the source of its Latin name), morphology of the auditory ossicles and certain dental characters (Stroganov, ), pelage color, glans penis shape, and preanal glands (Okhotina, , ). Based on this, some researchers recognize M. robusta as a distinct species (Corbet, ; Ohdachi, Ishibashi, Iwasa, & Saitoh, ; Okhotina, ; Stroganov, ); however, others treated it as a subspecies of M. wogura (Abe, ; He, Shinohara, Jiang, & Campbell, ; Hutterer, ).…”

Taxonomy of the East Asian moles of the genus Mogera is still controversial. Based on the sequence data of 12 nuclear genes and one mitochondrial gene, we examine genetic variation in the Mogera wogura species complex and demonstrate that M. robusta, from the continental Far East, and M. wogura, from the Japanese Islands, are not conspecific. Our data do not support the existence of two or more species of Mogera in the Russian Far East. We suggest that the form “coreana” from the Korean Peninsula should be treated as a subspecies of M. robusta. Our morphological analysis shows that M. r. coreana differs from typical M. robusta, from Primorye, primarily in its smaller size. We show that there is strong morphological variability among continental moles, which may be associated with ecological and geographical factors. The time since the split between M. wogura s. str. and M. robusta dates back to the Middle Pleistocene (0.30–1.0 Myr), while M. r. coreana separated from M. r. robusta in the Upper Pleistocene (0.04–0.18 Myr). The results of the mismatch analysis indicate recent demographic expansion in populations of moles from Primorye.
