“…obscurus and arvalis have allopatric ranges with very limited parapatric overlap. Hybridisation was reported from Belgorod-Voronezh-Lipetsk (Baskevich et al 2005(Baskevich et al , 2012 and the Vladimir-Nizhny Novgorod regions (Meyer et al 1997, Baskevich et al 2016a) with the width of the hybrid (transgression) zone of >100km (Gromov et al 2015). Inside the hybrid zone the proportion of voles with the recombinant karyotype is high but F1-hybrids are rare (Baskevich et al 2012) and hybrids are frequently backcrosses with M. obscurus (Mironova et al 2019).…”

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.

“…However, due to pericentric inversion, NFa number can differ (Gileva and Rakitin, 2006;Baskevich et al, 2016). Due to pericentric inversion, there may be one pair of the heteromorphic chromosome (subtelocentric and acrocentric) in autosomal chromosome set of obscurus cytotype (Gileva and Rakitin, 2006;Yorulmaz et al, 2013;Baskevich et al, 2016). In this study, (chromosome no: 5) and in Kefelioğlu (1995)'s study conducted in Turkish populations, heterozygote chromosome was not found in the obtained autosomal chromosome set.…”

“…In terms of M. arvalis (obscurus cytotype) diploid chromosome number, this study was similar to previously conducted (Zima and Král, 1984;Kefelioğlu, 1995;Yorulmaz et al, 2013) studies. However, due to pericentric inversion, NFa number can differ (Gileva and Rakitin, 2006;Baskevich et al, 2016).

“…In this study, (chromosome no: 5) and in Kefelioğlu (1995)'s study conducted in Turkish populations, heterozygote chromosome was not found in the obtained autosomal chromosome set. However, Heteromorphic chromosome was found in the Artvin (Turkey) sample (Yorulmaz et al, 2013).While X chromosome is metacentric in obscurus cytotype (Zima and Král, 1984;Kozlovskii et al, 1988;Kefelioğlu 1995;Tougard et al, 2013;Yorulmaz et al, 2013;Baskevich et al, 2016), variations can be seen in the centromere position of Y chromosome (Baskevich, 1996). While Y chromosome was found to be acrocentric in a study conducted in Turkey by Kefelioğlu (1995) and in Chinese by Tougard et al, (2013), it is metacentric in the present study.…”

Conventionally stained and C-banded karyotypes of Guenther's vole (Microtus guentheri), Major's pine vole (Microtus majori) and Common vole (Microtus arvalis) were studied from Turkey. Diploid chromosome numbers of M. guentheri, M. arvalis and M. majori were found as 2n=54 and NFa=52, 2n=46 and NFa=68 and 2n=54 and NFa=56, respectively. All chromosomes of M. guentheri were pericentromeric C-band. In Microtus arvalis (obscurus cytotype) and Microtus majori karyotypes, autosomal chromosomes were heterochromatin C band positive and negative band. In M. arvalis (obscurus cytotype), sex chromosome was C band negative. In this study, heterozygote chromosome was not found in the obtained autosomal chromosome set of M. arvalis. M. majori has enlarged heterochromatin block from centromere to telomere on the long arm of X chromosome. Y chromosome was completely heterochromatin. ÖZET Bu çalışmada, Güentheri tarla faresi (Microtus guentheri), Kısa kulaklı kır faresi (Microtus majori) ve Yaygın tarla faresi (Microtus arvalis) türlerinin standart karyotipleri ve kromozomların C-bant özellikleri belirlendi. M. guentheri türünün diploid kromozom sayısı (2n) = 54 ve otozomal kromozomların kol sayısı (NFa) = 52, M. arvalis (obscurus sitotip) türünün 2n = 46 ve NFa = 68, M.majori türünün 2n = 54 ve NFa = 56 şeklindedir. M. guentheri otozomal ve eşey kromozomlarda pericentromerik C-bant olduğu belirlendi. Microtus arvalis (obscurus sitotip) ve Microtus majori karyotiplerinde otozomal kromozomlar C bant pozitif ve negatif şeklindedir. M. arvalis türünde X ve Y kromozomu C bant negatif özelliktedir. M. majori karyotipinde X kromozomunun uzun kolunda sentromerden telomere doğru genişlemiş heterokromatin blok bulunmaktadır. Y kromozomu ise tamamen heterokromatindir.

“…It prefers to live in places with high and dense herbaceous or grassy vegetation, hedgerows, and stands of reeds and it avoids short-grass meadows and dry areas ( Kryštufek and Vohralík 2005 ; Aulagnier et al 2009 ; Kryštufek 2017 ). The distribution range of the Eastern European vole, to date, extends from southern Finland, the Baltic eastwards to western Siberia with patches in the southern Urals, the Novosibirsk suburbs to the southwest margin of Lake Baikal and Buryatia, the southern Caucasus, northern Iran to Turkey, connecting to Greece and the majority of the Balkan Peninsula to Ukraine ( Baskevich 1996 ; Gileva et al 1996 ; Yakimenko and Kryukov 1997 ; Musser and Carleton 2005 ; Shenbrot and Krasnov 2005 ; Pavlova and Tchabovsky 2011 ; Ghorbani et al 2015 ; Baskevich et al 2016 ; Kryštufek 2017 ; Moroldoev et al 2017 ).…”

The Eastern European vole (Microtusmystacinus) is an arvicoline rodent distributed across northern and eastern Europe, the Balkans, Turkey, Armenia, NW and N Iran, Russia as far east as the Tobol River in W Siberia, and W and N Kazakhstan. We present a novel records from eastern Kazakhstan (the village of Dzhambul – 49°14'21.3"N, 86°18'29.9"E and the village of Sekisovka – 50°21'9.18"N, 82°35'46.5"E) based on mtDNA and we discuss implications of this findings on biogeography of eastern Kazakhstan populations. Marine Isotope Stage 11 is considered an important period for the diversification of the arvalis species group. In the context of our study, it is important to analyse genetically discontinuous Siberian populations, and the current distribution of Microtusmystacinus in new localities in eastern Kazakhstan.
