Molecular identification of three sympatric species of wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus,A. flavicollis,A. alpicola) in western Europe (Muridae: Rodentia)

Abstract:The woodmouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) and yellow‐necked fieldmouse (Apodemus flavicollis) are sympatric and even syntopic in many regions throughout their European range. Their field discrimination on the basis of external characters is a real challenge for many fields of research. The problem is even more complicated in the Alpine chain where they live sympatrically with a third similar species: A. alpicola. A rapid and simple method is proposed to discriminate the three species in processing field‐collected biopsies as well as ethanol‐preserved museum samples.
Keywords:Apodemus  cytochrome b  molecular typing  species‐specific primers
