“…Our results are in agreement with some previous cyt-b gene studies using fewer specimens and restricted to smaller areas in Europe (Vogel et al, 2003) and East Asia (Han et al, 2002;Motokawa et al, 2000;Ohdachi et al, 2004). Our sampling, being more thorough, allow for the Wrst time a fairly complete description of the phylogeographic structure of C. suaveolens in Eurasia, and suggest that the validity of many taxa in the C. suaveolens group has to be re-evaluated.…”

“…Under these conditions, our interpretation is deliberately conservative. Based on the highest genetic distance between C. shantungensis (clade I) and all other clades, we accept the species assignment of this one by previous authors (Jiang and HoVmann, 2001;Motokawa et al, 2000;Ohdachi et al, 2004). Concerning the other clades (II-VII), we could not exclude the presence of species and, or incipient species.…”

“…Other authors still continue to defend the classic view with the distinction of several species based on geographic morphological variation, but also on molecular data (Bannikova et al, 1993(Bannikova et al, , 2005. Several molecular studies conWrm the existence of C. sibirica from central Asia (Han et al, 2002;Motokawa et al, 2000) and C. shantungensis from east China, Korea, Cheju, and Tsushima Island, which are distinct from a central European sample of C. suaveolens (Ohdachi et al, 2004).…”

We sequenced 998 base pairs (bp) of mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b and 799 bp of nuclear gene BRCA1 in the Lesser white-toothed shrew (Crocidura suaveolens group) over its geographic range from Portugal to Japan. The aims of the study were to identify the main clades within the group and respective refugia resulting from Pleistocene glaciations. Analyses revealed the Asian lesser white-toothed shrew (C. shantungensis) as the basal clade, followed by a major branch of C. suaveolens, subdivided sensu stricto into six clades, which split-up in the Upper Pliocene and Lower Pleistocene (1.9-0.9 Myr). The largest clade, occurring over a huge range from east Europe to Mongolia, shows evidence of population expansion after a bottleneck. West European clades originated from Iberian and Italo-Balkanic refugia. In the Near East, three clades evolved in an apparent hotspot of refugia (west Turkey, south-west and south-east of the Caucasus). Most clades include specimens of diVerent morphotypes and the validity of many taxa in the C. suaveolens group has to be re-evaluated. 

“…Approximately 8-10 species of crocidurine shrews are known from the East Asia (Ohdachi et al, 2004), while in NE China, Korea and Russian Far East only two species of this genus differing in body size are distributed: Crocidura lasiura Dobson, 1890 of a larger size and Crocidura suaveolens (Pallas, 1811) of a lesser size (Jones, Johnson, 1960). Recent studies of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence uncovered that Crocidura shantungensis inhabits Eastern part of Asia while typical C. suaveolens occurs in Europe (Ohdachi et al, 2004).…”

Abstract. Cytogenetical examinations of Crocidura shantungensis Miller, 1901 from small Young Island of South Korea and the mainland of Russian Far East (Vladivostok) were carried out and literature data concerning Tsushima Island of Japan and Cheju Island of Korea were considered. The chromosome sets of all investigated specimens are characterized by 2n = 40 and NFa = 46. Four pairs of biarmed autosomes, 15 pairs of acrocentrics and two sex chromosomes were identifi ed applying G-and C-banding. The X chromosome is a large metacentric whereas the Y chromosome is a middle sized acrocentric element. A variation in the Y chromosome size in samples from the three islands is noticeable. Comparative analysis of G-banded chromosomes of C. shantungensis (our material) and C. suaveolens (Pallas, 1811) (literature data) shows a similarity between karyotypes of these two species.
