Phylogeographic Study of Apodemus ilex (Rodentia: Muridae) in Southwest China
BACKGROUND The Mountains of southwest China have complex river systems and a profoundly complex topography and are among the most important biodiversity hotspots in the world. However, only a few studies have shed light on how the mountains and river valleys promote genetic diversity. Apodemus ilex is a fine model for investigating this subject. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To assess the ge...
متن کاملGrowth, Development and Reproduction in captive of the Large Japanese Field Mouse, Apodemus speciosus (Rodentia, Muridae)
The large Japanese field mice (Apodemus speciosus) were captured and kept in stainless cages under a constant condition at 23°C and 14 L: 100 photoperiod, and the growth, development and reproduction were investigated in this species. Modification of feeding condition and nest materials and introduction of a chamber and a running wheel apparatus into each cage first enabled this species to bree...
متن کاملPhylogenetics of the woodrat genus Neotoma (Rodentia: Muridae): implications for the evolution of phenotypic variation in male external genitalia.
Interspecific morphological variation in animal genitalia has long attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists because of the role genital form may play in the generation and/or maintenance of species boundaries. Here we examine the origin and evolution of genital variation in rodents of the muroid genus Neotoma. We test the hypothesis that a relatively rare genital form has evolved only...
متن کاملgeometric morphometric analysis of the second upper molar of the genus apodemus (muridae: rodentia) in northern iran
wood mice of the genus apodemus are widespread in temperate areas of the palaearctic region. dental shape variation and morphological differences among three species of apodemus (a. witherbyi, a. hyrcanicus, a. uralensis) were investigated using outline-based geometric morphometrics of the second upper molar (m2/) and a morphological study of 92 museum specimens belonging to five populations of...
متن کامل(Acari, Demodecidae) from oral cavity of yellow-necked field mouse, Apodemus flavicollis (Rodentia, Muridae)
Until now, Demodex rosus has been only recorded in the Czech Republic; however, as many as 81 specimens of this species have been observed in 7 yellow-necked field mice collected from Gdansk Pomerania, Poland (prevalence 35%, mean intensity 11.6). This is the first observation of that species in Poland. In Polish fauna, Apodemus flavicollis proved to be a new host of mites belonging to Demodeci...
