Using the cytochrome b gene (1143 bp), species identification and the phylogenetic analysis of voles of the generic group Microtus from the eastern part of the Greater Caucasus, including the Ismayilli, Khizi, and Balakan Districts of Azerbaijan, have been carried out. Three species, the Major's pine vole (M. majori), the social vole (M. socialis), and the common vole (M. arvalis form obscurus), have been identified, and five new haplotypes have been described for them. Genetic analysis with the inclusion of the new data showed that for each of the species, the physiographic conditions of the Greater Caucasus played a certain role (isolation, migration route or refugium) during the formation of the modern genetic structure. The obtained results indicate that any new data from the Caucasus could be of critical importance for the reconstruction of the evolutionary history of the modern biodiversity both within the region itself and in adjacent territories.
利用细胞色素 b 基因（1143bp），对大高加索东部（包括阿塞拜疆的伊斯梅利、哈齐、巴尔坎等区）的田鼠属（Microtus）进行了物种鉴定和系统发育分析。鉴定出 3 个物种，分别为大山松田鼠（M. majori）、社鼠（M. socialis）和黑线姬鼠指名亚种（M. arvalis form obscurus），并为它们描述了 5 种新的单倍型。遗传分析表明，在现代遗传结构形成过程中，大高加索的地形条件对每种物种都起到了一定的作用（隔离、迁移路线或避难所）。研究结果表明，来自高加索地区的任何新数据对于重建该地区及其邻近地区现代生物多样性的进化历史都可能具有至关重要的意义。
