The Pleistocene biochronology of Ukraine based on remains of small mammals was
established in the late 20th century. The main biochronological criteria used at that time …

Voles of the genus Microtus represent one of the most speciose mammalian genera in the
Holarctic. We established a molecular phylogeny for Microtus to resolve contentious issues …

Thousands of fossils of small vertebrates are recorded in one of the most complete
stratigraphic sequences of the continental European Pleistocene, in the Sierra de …

Voles and lemmings (Arvicolinae subfamily) diversified throughout the northern hemisphere
over five million years into 140 lineages. Attempts have been made to identify relationships …

Because of their rapid evolution and abundant fossil record, arvicolid molars are commonly
employed in Quaternary biostratigraphy. In addition, with their extensive geographical …

To examine phylogenetic relationships within the Asian lineage of voles (Microtus)
