Climatic influences on the genetic structure and distribution of the common vole and field vole in Europe
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of climate on the distribution and present-day genetic structure of the common vole ( Microtus arvalis ) and the field vole ( Microtus agrestis ). In this study, we used previously published data on the genetic structure (using microsatellite DN...

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of climate on the distribution and present-day genetic structure of the common vole ( Microtus arvalis ) and the field vole ( Microtus agrestis ). In this study, we used previously published data on the genetic structure (using microsatellite DNA) of the common and field vole in Central Europe and a set of climatic variables to conduct binomial generalized linear and environmental niche modeling. In terms of present-day genetic structure, climate is an important factor shaping the patterns of distribution of the identified genetic groups, with the average minimum temperature in January being a significant factor for both species. For the field vole, average annual precipitation was an important factor also and consistent with the species’ preference for wet habitats.
