| Summary: | Species are generally described from morphological features, but there is growing recognition of sister forms that show substantial genetic differentiation without obvious morphological variation and may therefore be considered ‘cryptic species’. Here, we investigate the field vole (Microtus agrestis), a Eurasian mammal with little apparent morphological differentiation but which, on the basis of previous sex-linked nuclear and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analyses, is subdivided into a northern and a southern lineage, sufficiently divergent that they may represent two cryptic species. These earlier studies also provided limited evidence for two major mtDNA lineages within Iberia. In our present study we extend these findings through a multilocus approach. We sampled 160 individuals from 46 localities, mainly in Iberia, and sequenced 7 loci, maternally, paternally and bi-parentally inherited. Our results show that the mtDNA lineage identified in Portugal is indeed a distinct third lineage on the basis of other ... : Sample_dataNew sequence data and sequence data retrieved from GenBank for all loci analysed. Details on sampling locality are given for each specimen analysed. Haplotype names as well as GenBank accession numbers are detailed for each loci per specimen, as well as source of previously published data.
