Microevolutionary relationships between phylogeographical history, climate change and morphological variability in the common vole ( Microtus arvalis) across France
Abstract Aim In this study, we analyse microevolutionary processes in common voles ( Microtus arvalis ) through the investigation of tooth morphological structure, in order to assess the relative impact of climate and phylogeographical history. Microevolutionary studies have shown that climate chang...
