Evolution of Arvicolinae: a phylogenetic approach
ROBOVSKÝ, Jan
The topic of the presented thesis is evolution of the arvicoline rodents (Cricetidae) using the phylogenetic approach. Phylogenetic relationships within the Arvicolinae were examined based on two genes (mitochondrial cytb, nuclear GHR exon 10) and approx. 470 morphological, developmental, behavioural, ecological and cytogenetic characters. The thesis consists of four related topics: (i) Phylogeny of arvicoline rodents (Robovský et al. 2008: Zool. Scr. 37: 571-590); (ii) Fossils, phylogeny and morphological evolution in the Arvicolinae (Rodentia: Cricetidae); (iii) Enamel, diet and habitat evolution in arvicoline rodents (Cricetidae); and (iv) Vole population cycles: evolutionary history or actual life histories?.
