Phylogeography of the striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius Pallas, 1771) in light of new data from central part of Northern Eurasia.

ABSTRACT: A phylogeographic analysis of A. agrarius based on the complete mtDNA cytochrome b and control region sequences has been performed using data obtained for the first time for the species from large regions of the central part of Northern Eurasia (23 localities of Altai, Western Siberia, and the Urals). The obtained results have demonstrated a complex intraspecific differentiation of A. agrarius, which has manifested not only in the isolation of the isles populations in Southeast Asia (Jeju and Taiwan), but also in the genetic heterogeneity of mainland populations, which has reflected the history of the modern intraspecific genetic diversity formation against the background of changing physiographic conditions of Eurasia in the Quaternary. The divergence of genetic lineages has taken place a
