Phylogeography of the common vole ( Microtus arvalis) with particular emphasis on the colonization of the Orkney archipelago
Abstract To investigate the human introduction of the common vole Microtus arvalis onto the Orkney islands, the complete cytochrome b gene was sequenced in 41 specimens from both Orkney (four localities) and elsewhere in their range (26 localities). Orkney voles belonged to the same phylogenetic lin...
