Abstract:
Electrophoretic variation in proteins encoded by 21 loci was analysed in five populations of the bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) from southern and eastern Poland. Intrapopulation variation is high
; the average Nei's distance among populations equals 0.193. Comparatively high FIS (0.306) values suggest high levels of differentiation. Variation in allele frequencies (FST is high (ranging from 0.137 to 0.572) and reflects considerable geographic genetic heterogeneity. Genetic and geographic distances are not consistently associated.
