Geographic Mosaic of Extensive Genetic Variations in Subterranean Mole Voles <i>Ellobius alaicus</i> as a Consequence of Habitat Fragmentation and Hybridization

Restricted mobility, sociality, and high inbreeding—characteristic for subterranean mammals—lead to rapid changes in their genome structure. Up to now, the Alay mole vole <i>Ellobius alaicus</i> was a data-deficient species; its spatial and phylogenetic relationships with a sibling speci...
