[Genetic differentiation of voles of the tribe Arvicolini (Cricetidae, Rodentia) using taxonprint analysis and polymerase chain reaction with random primers].
The variability of the genomes of ten vole species was analyzed by means of taxonomic DNA fingerprinting and polymerase chain reaction using random primers (RAPD-PCR). The dendrograms of genetic similarity between the representatives of the tribe Arvicolinae (Gray, 1821) were constructed, based on the data obtained by means of both methods. The topology of the genetic similarity dendrogram that is based on the RAPD-PCR data generally correlates with the genetic distances estimated from biochemical and karyological data. The results did not confirm the genus status of Terricola. On the other hand, the data from taxonprint analysis suggest the recognition of Lasiopodomys as a separate genus.
