Relationships of amphiberingian shrews of the Sorex cinereus group
Nine taxa of shrews of the Sorex cinereus group occurring in northwestern North America and northeastern Siberia were studied to elucidate their interrelationships. Canonical variate analysis, cluster analysis (unweighted pair group method analysis), and numerical cladistic analysis of craniometric...
