Variation of morphological parameters in isolated populations of Microtus fortis (Rodentia, Cricetidae) from islands of the Peter the Great Bay (the Sea of Japan) [Russian]

摘要

The variation of morphological parameters in isolated Microtus fortis populations from islands of the Peter the Great Bay (the Sea of Japan) was studied. The samplings of the island populations differ in the body size and have their own specific features. The influence of historical, geographical, and ecological factors on the isolated Microtus fortis populations is discussed.
