Comment:
Status: IUCN - Endangered as M. kermanensis, Lower Risk (lc) as M. transcaspicus
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Microtus, arvalis species group (Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987, 1998; Pavlinov et al., 1995a; Zagorodnyuk, 1990). Based on banding chromosomal data, Mazurok et al. (1996b) closely allied M. transcaspicus with M. levis among species in the M. arvalis group, an association also supported by allozymic data (Mezhzherin et al., 1993) and syntheses of karyology, morphology, and hybridization (Meyer et al., 1996). Taxonomy reviewed by Malygin (1978), Meyer et al. (1981, 1996), and Meyer (1...
