Abstract

This review summarizes available data on the problem of taxonomic and evolutionary differentiation in the “araneus” groups of species of the genus Sorex (Eulipotyphla, Mammalia). Report 2 describes the hierarchical structuring, population system, and interracial hybrid zones in the common shrew (Sorex araneus).

Keywords

population, intraspecies structuring, hybrid zones, small mammals
