Diplomsko delo, Univerza v Mariboru, Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko, Oddelek za biologijo, 2016 IZVLEČEK Namen diplomske naloge je bil izvedba morfometrične analize variabilnosti v mandibuli pri rodu Apodemus z metodami geometrijske morfometrije. Predvsem sem preverjala ali se bodo rezultati morfometričnega pristopa skladali z rezultati filogenetske analize na mitohondrijski DNK. V diplomski nalogi sem analizirala variabilnost v obliki spodnje čeljustnice pri 22 vrstah rodu belonogih miši, Apodemus. V analizo sem vključila 22 vrst razdeljenih v 24 OTU-jev: A.agrarius, A. alpicola, A. argenteus, A. arianus, A. chevrieri, A. draco, A. epimelas, A.flavicollis, A. gurkha, A. hyrcanicus, A. ilex, A. latronum, A. mystacinus, A. pallipes, A. peniunsulae, A. ponticus, A. rusigeus, A. semotus, A. speciosus, A. sylvaticus-North, A. sylvaticus-South, A. uralensis-East, A. uralensis-West, in A. witherbyi. Analizirala sem 99 primerkov rodu Apodemus, iz vsake vrste okrog 5 mandibul. Uporabila sem metodo geometrijske morfometrije in na labialni strani vsake mandibule določila 50 drsnih oslonilnih točk, s katerimi sem izvedla analizo njene oblike. Ugotovila sem, da vrsta A. gurkha močno odstopa v obliki mandibule, kar se sklada tudi z ugotovitvami mitohondrijske analize DNK. Prav tako sem ugotovila, da se morfometrični rezultati na nivoju rodov skladajo z molekularno filogenijo, na nivoju medvrstne variabinosti pa mandibule ne vsebujejo filetske informacije.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Wood Mice, Apodemus with the Method of Geometric Morphometrics. Graduation thesis, University of Maribor, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Department of Biology, 2016 ABSTRACT The subject of this Graduation thesis was the implementation of morphometric analysis of the variability of the Apodemus mandible with the method of geometric morphometrics. The aim was to determin whether the results of morphometric approach were consistent with the results of phylogenetic analysis on mitochondrial DNA. I analyzed the variability in shape of the 22 Apodemus mandible species. In the analysis I have included 22 species distributed in 24 OTU's: A.agrarius, A. alpicola, A. argenteus, A. arianus, A. chevrieri, A. draco, A. epimelas, A.flavicollis, A. gurkha, A. hyrcanicus, A. ilex, A. latronum, A. mystacinus, A. pallipes, A. peniunsulae, A. ponticus, A. rusigeus, A. semotus, A. speciosus, A. sylvaticus-North, A. sylvaticus-South, A. uralensis-East, A. uralensis-West, and A. witherbyi. I analyzed 99 specimens of the genus Apodemus. I used the method of geometric morphometics and determined 50 landmarks and semilandmarks on the labial side of each mandible. This was the basis for further analysis of mandibles shape. The results suggest that the species A. gurkha deviates significantly in the form of the mandible, which is consistent with the results of mitochondrial DNA analysis. The results also show that at the level of genera the morphometric results are consistent with molecular phylogeny but at the level of interspecies variability of the mandible they do not contain any phyletic information.

Therefore, further detailed studies covering a large part of the Western Palearctic region are still needed. In this order, we sequenced 972 bp of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b (mtDNA cyt b) from 124 yellow-necked fieldmice (Apodemus flavicollis) collected from 53 European localities. The aims of the study were to answer the following questions: • Did the Mediterranean peninsulas act as the main refuge for yellow-necked fieldmouse or did the species also survive in more easterly refugia (the Caucasus or the southern Ural) and in Central Europe? • What is the role of Turkey and Near East regions as Quaternary glacial refuges for this species and as a source for postglacial recolonisers of the Western Palearctic region? The results provide a clear picture of the impact of the quaternary glaciations on the genetic and geographic structure of the fieldmouse.

  • Repeated Evolution of Carnivory Among Indo-Australian Rodents
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE doi:10.1111/evo.12871 Repeated evolution of carnivory among Indo-Australian rodents Kevin C. Rowe,1,2 Anang S. Achmadi,3 and Jacob A. Esselstyn4,5 1Sciences Department, Museum Victoria, Melbourne, Australia 2E-mail: [email protected] 3Research Center for Biology, Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense, Cibinong, Jawa Barat, Indonesia 4Museum of Natural Science, 119 Foster Hall, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70803 5Department of Biological Sciences, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70803 Received February 1, 2015 Accepted January 12, 2016 Convergent evolution, often observed in island archipelagos, provides compelling evidence for the importance of natural selection as a generator of species and ecological diversity. The Indo-Australian Archipelago (IAA) is the world’s largest island system and encompasses distinct biogeographic units, including the Asian (Sunda) and Australian (Sahul) continental shelves, which together bracket the oceanic archipelagos of the Philippines and Wallacea. Each of these biogeographic units houses numerous endemic rodents in the family Muridae. Carnivorous murids, that is those that feed on animals, have evolved independently in Sunda, Sulawesi (part of Wallacea), the Philippines, and Sahul, but the number of origins of carnivory among IAA murids is unknown. We conducted a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of carnivorous murids of the IAA, combined with estimates of ancestral states for broad diet categories (herbivore, omnivore, and carnivore) and geographic ranges. These analyses demonstrate that carnivory evolved independently four times after overwater colonization, including in situ origins on the Philippines, Sulawesi, and Sahul. In each biogeographic unit the origin of carnivory was followed by evolution of more specialized carnivorous ecomorphs such as vermivores, insectivores, and amphibious rats.

  • Muridae, Rodentia), the Endemic Philippine Tree Mouse from Luzon Island
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3802, 27 pp. May 16, 2014 Three New Species of Musseromys (Muridae, Rodentia), the Endemic Philippine Tree Mouse from Luzon Island LAWRENCE R. HEANEY,1 DANILO S. BALETE,1 ERIC A. RICKART,2 MARIA JOSEFA VELUZ,3 AND SHARON A. JANSA4 ABSTRACT We describe and name three new species of Musseromys from the mountains of northern Luzon based on morphological and DNA sequence data. Previously, Musseromys was known only from one species from the lowlands of central Luzon. These are the smallest-known mem- bers of the cloud rat clade of endemic Philippine murids, weighing only 15−22 g, an order of magnitude smaller than the previously smallest known members of the clade (Carpomys spp.), and more than two orders of magnitude smaller than the largest members (Phloeomys spp.). These discoveries raise the number of native murids documented on Luzon to 43, 93% of which are endemic, and 88% of which are members of two endemic Philippine clades. Musseromys is inferred to have originated in montane habitats, probably in the Central Cordillera of northern Luzon, with movement to two other areas on Luzon, one in montane habitat and one in lowland habitat, associated with the speciation process. INTRODUCTION Among the 17 genera of murid rodents that are endemic to the Philippine archipelago (Heaney et al., 2010), the most spectacular are the giant cloud rats. Phloeomys pallidus reaches up to 2.7 kg in mass, and Crateromys schadenbergi reaches 1.5 kg; both are covered entirely in 1 Field Museum of Natural History, 1400 S Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605.

  • A Global-Scale Evaluation of Mammalian Exposure and Vulnerability to Anthropogenic Climate Change
    A Global-Scale Evaluation of Mammalian Exposure and Vulnerability to Anthropogenic Climate Change Tanya L. Graham A Thesis in The Department of Geography, Planning and Environment Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science (Geography, Urban and Environmental Studies) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada March 2018 © Tanya L. Graham, 2018 Abstract A Global-Scale Evaluation of Mammalian Exposure and Vulnerability to Anthropogenic Climate Change Tanya L. Graham There is considerable evidence demonstrating that anthropogenic climate change is impacting species living in the wild. The vulnerability of a given species to such change may be understood as a combination of the magnitude of climate change to which the species is exposed, the sensitivity of the species to changes in climate, and the capacity of the species to adapt to climatic change. I used species distributions and estimates of expected changes in local temperatures per teratonne of carbon emissions to assess the exposure of terrestrial mammal species to human-induced climate change. I evaluated species vulnerability to climate change by combining expected local temperature changes with species conservation status, using the latter as a proxy for species sensitivity and adaptive capacity to climate change. I also performed a global-scale analysis to identify hotspots of mammalian vulnerability to climate change using expected temperature changes, species richness and average species threat level for each km2 across the globe. The average expected change in local annual average temperature for terrestrial mammal species is 1.85 oC/TtC. Highest temperature changes are expected for species living in high northern latitudes, while smaller changes are expected for species living in tropical locations.

It is generally split into two different specific entities: Apodemus epimelas occurs on the Balkan Peninsula and A. mystacinus inhabits Asia Minor and the Middle East. This analysis, based on two mitochondrial regions (cytochrome b and the D-loop) and the interstitial retinol binding protein (IRBP) nuclear gene, confirms an important level of genetic divergence between the animals from these regions and their separation from each other at least 4.2–5.1 Mya, which is in favour of a distinct specific status. Finally, the broad-toothed field mice from south- western Turkey appear to be closely related to the animals from Crete but highly distinct from the populations of the other Oriental regions.

Repeated colonization of a region by closely related taxa may cause similar effects as species within each lineage com- pete with one another. This may be particularly relevant for secondary colonists, which could experience limited diversification due to competition with earlier, incumbent colonists over evolutionary time. We tested the hypothesis that an incumbent lineage may diminish the diversification of secondary colonists in two speciose clades of Philippine “Old Endemic” murine rodents—Phloeomyini and Chrotomyini—on the relatively old oceanic island of Luzon. Although phylogenetic analyses confirm the independent, non- contemporaneous colonization of Luzon by the ancestors of these two clades, we found no support for arrested diversification in either. Rather, it appears that diversification of both clades resulted from constant-rate processes that were either uniform or favored the secondary colonists (Chrotomyini), depending on the method used. Our results suggest that ecological incumbency has not played an important role in determining lineage diversification among Luzon murines, despite sympatric occurrence by constituent species within each lineage, and a substantial head start for the primary colonists.
