“…Based on recent molecular studies, a number of species of small mammals with large geographical ranges have become recognized as complexes of 'cryptic′ species (Neronov et al, 2009;Ben Faleh et al, 2012a, b;Paupério et al, 2012;Petrova et al, 2016, Lebedev et al, 2018. Usually, genetic variation across the range of such species complexes is geographically structured, which requires only changes in taxonomic ranking, specifically a simple elevation of a subspecies level to a species.…”

Phylogeographical study of the small five-toed jerboa (Scarturus elater) and examination of the phylogenetic position of S. vinogradovi were performed using the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) gene and fragments of the BRCA1 and IRBP nuclear genes. Phylogenetic analysis of the cytb data including 115 specimens of S. elater from 47 localities across the species range revealed the existence of three highly divergent (10-11.3%) genetic clades: North (N), South (S) and SouthWest (SW). The N and S clades are well supported by nuclear genes and occur in sympatry across a large part of the range south of the Aral Sea. We found no trace of admixture between these clades, which suggests their reproductive isolation. We detected no morphological differences in the skull or glans penis between these two lineages, which we consider to represent an intriguing example of cryptic species. Given the reciprocal monophyly and deep genetic divergence, the SW lineage also deserves full species rank. The data indicate that S. vinogradovi is not a close relative of S. elater. It is placed as a separate deep branch in a clade also containing S. elater s.l. and S. williamsi + S. euphratica.

“…To avoid over‐splitting, we tried to reduce the contribution of intra‐deme variation relative of interdeme variation by using scattered sampling as it was done by Lebedev et al. (2018b). The total sample was reassembled so that each locality was represented by a single sequence selected at random.…”

“…In a structured population, a coalescent can be divided into scattering and collecting phases (Wakeley, 1999), in which branch lengths are scaled differently, thus violating the assumptions of GMYC.

Striped hamsters (Cricetulus barabensis sensu lato) represent a complex of chromosomally distinct allopatric lineages/taxa of either species or subspecies rank. They are widely distributed across the steppes of eastern and central Palearctic. Phylogenetic analysis of cytochrome b gene sequences based on 496 specimens from 112 localities revealed five well‐supported lineages divergent at 2%–4%. Two of them correspond to “griseus” (2n = 22) and “pseudogriseus” (2n = 24) karyomorphs and are placed as sister taxa. The “barabensis” (2n = 20) karyomorph is represented by three other branches and appears non‐monophyletic. All mtDNA lineages are distributed allopatrically or parapatrically; no indications of gene flow between populations of different chromosomal races were found. The results of the molecular clock analysis suggest that the main lineages diverged in the late Middle Pleistocene. The inferred evolutionary scenario implies that the common ancestor of the recent lineages belonged to the 2n = 20 karyomorph and originated in the eastern part of the contemporary range.

Repeated climatic and vegetation changes during the Pleistocene have shaped biodiversity in Northern Europe including Denmark. The Northern Birch Mouse (Sicista betulina) was one of the first small rodent species to colonize Denmark after the Late Glacial Maximum. This study analyses complete mitochondrial genomes and two nuclear genes of the Northern Birch Mouse to investigate the phylogeographical pattern in North-western Europe and test whether the species colonized Denmark through several colonization events. The latter was prompt by (i) the present-day distinct northern and southern Danish distribution and (ii) the subfossil record of Northern Birch Mouse, supporting early Weichselian colonization. Samples from Denmark,
