“…5) clearly indicate the convergence of species ranges. Practically the same picture was shown by Russian authors (Malygin et al, 2019), who also interpret the new data as counter-move of species ranges, although not citing articles in which this fact was already described and explained (in particular Zagorodniuk, 2011). Recent data on the distribution of these allospecies in the area of their probable contact (Fig.…”

Range dynamics in sibling species: facts and reconstructions for the mammal fauna of Eastern Europe. -I. Zagorodniuk. -The specifics of distribution and status of local mammal species of sibling complexes demonstrating signs of significant either current or recent range dynamics are considered. These species complexes comprise pairs of sibling and morphologically close species, which until recently have not been unambiguously distinguished, thus it was impossible to analyse their range dynamics. However, range dynamics of this group of species is of great interest since it determines the emergence of high species diversity and realisation of mechanisms of compact organisation of communities that include close species. The amassed by today knowledge on distribution of species and the identification criteria developed for some of those species based on collection specimens allow to analyse changes in their distribution ranges. Such data in most cases allow to perform reconstructions and to develop respective hypotheses on dispersal routes of species in the region. In total, 9 species complexes were considered. Ranges of species that by direct or indirect evidence demonstrate changes in the area of their distribution and in the same time change the system of interspecific spatial relationships within each group are described. These spatial relationships can vary from allopatry to marginal or significant sympatry. Such complexes of "small" species were described in the composition of former "large" polytypic species with signs of invasions or expansions of their components among bats (Plecotus auritus + austriacus, Pipistrellus pipistrellus + pygmaeus, Eptesicus serotinus + lobatus) and rodents (Spermophilus suslicus + odessanus, Microtus arvalis + obscurus, Mus musculus + spicilegus). Similar but less expressed signs can be also traced in some other groups (Spalax zemni + arenarius, Sylvaemus sylvaticus + whiterbyi, Capreolus capreolus + pygargus). Distribution maps for all these species complexes are presented with reconstructions of possible directions of their dispersal through the territory of the region (Ukraine and adjacent countries). Zones of prochoresis, where these species most likely were absent in the recent past, are determined and analysed. The time and pace of expansion of "small" species in the region are estimated. The significance of morphological criteria of species and the possibilities of revision of old collection specimens to analyse temporal changes of biota are shown as well as the importance of cartographic data for such analysis. By using data from revisions, it is possible to estimate geographical tendencies and velocity of expansion for many species, including those that represent groups of morphologically close or sibling species.

“…It is not clear for all populations whether they are native or imported (cf. Malygin et al 2020 andHolicová et al 2018). Most Siberian localities, however, are along the Trans-Siberian railroad which speaks in favour of humanassissted spreading.…”

“…The earliest translocation was likely to Svalbard (<1960) and was followed by the introduction of rossiaemeridionalis to Baikal in the late 1970s. Reports on the East-European grey vole outside its native range started to become frequent in the late 1980s (reviewed in Malygin et al 2020). Voles were obviously passively transported, mostly hidden in cargo carried by supply ships and trains.…”

As the most species-rich group of Palaearctic rodents, voles and lemmings are frequently used in various research endeavours of fundamental and applied significance. The present work integrates achievements of the genomic era with the traditional taxonomy and provides an authoritative and up-to-date taxonomic guide to the animal group which is of great interest to experts engaged in medical zoology, epidemiology, biostratigraphy, zooarchaeology, evolutionary research, population ecology, animal systematics, biodiversity conservation, museum collection management and many more biological subdisciplines. The text is supplemented by 331 illustrations and over one thousand references. Depicted are morphological details of skull and dentition of each of the 128 species and their distributions are mapped in detail. The book will allow the user to interpret intelligently and cautiously the interrelationships among species of voles and lemmings and to follow the anticipated taxonomic change with a critical eye.

“…показатель их обилия на обследованных участках луговых степей составил 100%. Именно такие биотопы наряду с полями и залежами характерны для 46-хромосомных форм М. arvalis s. l. в Центральном Черноземье (Окулова и др., 2008Malygin et al, 2020). Следует подчеркнуть, что предшествующие исследования особенностей экологии фауны мелких млекопитающих на территории Природного парка «Олений» выявили абсолютное доминирование обыкновенных полёвок на полях и в лугостепи, а наиболее редкие находки были отмечены в лесополосах (Сапельников, Сапельникова, 2019).…”

Priority data are presented on the chromosomal (routine, C-banding) and molecular (cyt b, p53) marking of several (n = 19) individuals of common vole sibling species from three previously not studied localities in the Central Black Earth region, at the territory of the Deer Natural Park (Lipetsk Region, Krasninsky District). All individuals caught on the territory of the Deer Natural Park in the northwestern part of the Lipetsk Region were identified by both genetic markers as M. arvalis form “arvalis” (MAA). No representatives of other M. arvalis s. l. sibling species, including recombinants, were found in our samples. The geographical location of the M. arvalis form “arvalis” found by us was estimated with respect to the distribution boundaries and hybridization sites of the 46-chromosome forms of M. arvalis s. l. in the Central Black Earth region. It is shown that the studied individuals have been caught within the range of the Microtus form “arvalis” and are largely removed from the hybridization sites of the 46-chromosomal forms M. arvalis s. l., discovered earlier in the southern Lipetsk region and the southeastern Kursk Region. No M. rossiaemeridionalis in the examined sample from the Deer Natural Park were found. The correspondence between the samples studied and identified as the M. arvalis form “arvalis” from the Deer Natural Park and native meadow biotopes is shown. The data of determining the taxonomic status of M. arvalis s. l. individuals from the Deer Natural Park are consistent with our perceptions of the nature of the geographical distribution and biotopic correspondence of M. arvalis s. l. sibling species and the chromosomal forms on the territory of the Central Black Earth region.
