| reassessment of the taxonomic status of craseomys and three controversial species of myodes and alticola (rodentia: arvicolinae). | the genera myodes (red-backed voles) and alticola (mountain voles) appear to be sister taxa based on morphological similarities, but molecular analyses fail to resolve them as monophyletic genera owing to the uncertain taxonomic status of craseomys and phaulomys. as a result of incomplete sampling of related specimens, ongoing controversies on the taxonomic positions of several generic and specific taxa necessitate further clarifications. herein, we combined molecular, morphometric, and geometri ... | 2018 | 30313278 |
