chromosomal evolution and zoogeographic origin of southeast asian shrews (genus crocidura).	to the origins and evolution of indomalayan shrews, we investigated the chromosomal variations of 14 species of crocidura from se asia. intraspecific polymorphism was mainly due to variation in the number of short chromosomal arms but c. lepidura and c. hutanis showed a polymorphism due to a centric fusion. the undifferentially stained karyotypes were similar in 9 species, all possessing 2n = 38 and fn = 54-56 (68); c. fuliginosa had 2n = 40 and fn = 54-58. these karyotypes are close to the pres ...	1995	7875257
do geological or climatic processes drive speciation in dynamic archipelagos? the tempo and mode of diversification in southeast asian shrews.	geological and climatic processes potentially alter speciation rates by generating and modifying barriers to dispersal. in southeast asia, two processes have substantially altered the distribution of land. volcanic uplift produced many new islands during the miocene-pliocene and repeated sea level fluctuations during the pleistocene resulted in intermittent land connections among islands. each process represents a potential driver of diversification. we use a phylogenetic analysis of a group of ...	2009	19500148
white-toothed shrews (mammalia, soricomorpha, crocidura) of coastal islands of vietnam.	new findings of the white-toothed shrews (crocidura spp.) from offshore islands of vietnam are reported. the species identifications have been confirmed by the analysis of complete mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (1140 bp). crocidura phuquocensis is the only species found in the phu quoc island. crocidura fuliginosa has been recorded from two islands of the con dao archipelago (con son and bai canh). the occurrence of crocidura fuliginosa in vietnam has been genetically confirmed for the first t ...	2012	22855639
