Silver Mountain Vole
The silver mountain vole (''Alticola argentatus'') is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. They are distinguished by their silver-grey pelage, long vibrissae, rootless hypsodont molars and angular skull shape. Like many mammals of the Eurasian Steppe eco-region, they are well adapted to life in high altitudes, and can be found in mountain areas of Central Asia from Saur Mountains in the north-east to Kugitang Range in the west, and to Tibet and the Himalayas in the south. Taxonomy Evolutionary History The phylogeny and life history of the Central Asian voles within the genus ''Alticola'' are not well understood. There are three subgenera of ''Alticola''; ''Alticola'' s.str. containing the silver mountain vole, '' Aschizomys'' and '' Platycranius''. Through a genetic analysis of the cytochrome b gene, subgenera ''Alticola'' s str. and ''Platycranius'' have been found to form in a monophyletic clade, and have genetic differences with the Asian vole subgenera ''Aschiso ...

Alticola Olchonensis
The Lake Baikal mountain vole or Olkhon mountain vole (''Alticola olchonensis'') is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found principally on the Olkhon and Ogoi islands on Lake Baikal, in southern Siberia. It is also found in a small part of the bordering mainland Russia, on the Baikal coast of the Irkutsk Oblast. It was originally described as a subspecies of the silver mountain vole. Since then, it has been synonymized with '' A. roylei'' in 1978, '' A. tuvinicus'', and '' A. macrotis'' before being reinstated as a species. It is likely a sister species In phylogenetics, a sister group or sister taxon, also called an adelphotaxon, comprises the closest relative(s) of another given unit in an evolutionary tree. Definition The expression is most easily illustrated by a cladogram: Taxon A and ... to ''A. tuvinicus''.
