Ancestral sequence reconstruction is a fundamental aspect of molecular evolution studies
and can trace small-scale sequence modifications through the evolution of genomes and …

Abstract The vole Alexandromysevoronensis (Kovalskaya et Sokolov, 1980) with its two
chromosomal races,“Evoron”(2n= 38–41, NF= 54–59) and “Argi”(2n= 34, 36, 37, NF= 51 …

The voles of the Microtus thomasi/M. atticus species complex demonstrate a remarkable
variability in diploid chromosomal number (2n= 38–44 chromosomes) and sex chromosome …

The integration of mitochondrial genome fragments into the nuclear genome is well
documented, and the transfer of these mitochondrial nuclear pseudogenes (numts) is …

Comparative genomic studies in birds have revealed that bird genomes are relatively repeat-
poor and stable in terms of karyotype, size, and gene synteny/collinearity compared to other …

Detailed karyotype analysis including fluorescence in-situ hybridization with chromosome-
specific and sub-regional probes revealed novel cytogenetic signatures for elucidating …

Ellobius remains are common and often abundant in southeastern Europe, western and
central Asia archaeological sites. A correct identification of species is crucial for our …

Voles and lemmings (subfamily Arvicolinae) remain some of the most difficult groups for
disentangling phylogenetic relations owing to recent and very fast explosive radiation. The …

In the present paper, we clarify the genetic structure and taxonomy of six vole species
occurring in Mongolia including Microtus mongolicus, M. maximowiczii, M. limnophilus …

Elopiformes is one of the most ancient orders of Teleostei fishes and includes the
Megalopidae and Elopidae families. Although relevant to scientific research, cytogenetic …
