Based on published information about the glacial, postglacial, and recent distribution of the root vole, Microtus oeconomus, we hypothesized that a population inhabiting the pristine wetland in eastern Poland (Bialowieza Primeval Forest) might comprise a high diversity of haplotypes. The support for this hypothesis was provided by an analysis of partial cytb gene sequences from 149 voles sampled within a two-hectare plot during a nine-year study. In this population, we identified eight haplotypes (PLB1-PLB8), four of which were new to the root vole. These haplotypes were characterized by low nucleotide diversity (π = 0.0054, SE = 0.0019), the absence of transversional differences between sequences, and no changes in the encoded amino acid sequence: features suggesting a lack of immigration from the distant populations. The haplotype number and their frequency distribution in males and females did not differ significantly. An assessment of the persistence of matrilines in the local population throughout the study period revealed that the haplotype composition was relatively stable for only about 3 years. A more complete haplotype network for root voles in Europe was constructed by combining the newly identified haplotypes with the 45 previously described haplotypes. Two of the haplotypes detected in this study occupy key positions in this network: PLB5, as the closest link to the North European group, and PLB8, as an ancestor to many other Central European haplotypes.
根据已发表的关于根田鼠(Microtus oeconomus)冰期、冰期后和近期分布的信息，我们假设居住在波兰东部原始湿地(Bialowieza原始森林)的一个种群可能包含高度多样性的单倍型。在一项为期9年的研究中，对在两公顷土地内取样的149只田鼠的部分cytb基因序列进行了分析，为这一假设提供了支持。在该种群中，我们鉴定出8个单倍型(PLB1-PLB8)，其中4个是根田鼠的新基因。这些单倍型的特征是核苷酸多样性低(π = 0.0054, SE = 0.0019)，序列之间没有横向差异，编码的氨基酸序列没有变化，这些特征表明缺乏来自遥远种群的移民。单倍型数量及其频率分布在雌雄间无显著差异。在整个研究期间，对当地种群母系持续性的评估显示，单倍型组成仅在3年内相对稳定。通过将新发现的单倍型与先前描述的45种单倍型相结合，构建了一个更完整的欧洲根田鼠单倍型网络。本研究中检测到的两种单倍型在该网络中占据关键位置:PLB5，作为与北欧群体最近的联系，PLB8，作为许多其他中欧单倍型的祖先。

The increase in Eurasian otter Lutra lutra populations in their natural range and recolonization processes are recently observed in several European countries. We address the process of otter recolonization and habitat utilization in Central Poland over 14 years. Field surveys in 1998 and 2007 documented increase in occurrence of the species. The frequency of positive sites denoted 15 % in 1993, 38 % in 1998, and 89 % in 2007. Otter occurrence at study sites was positively affected by river width while negatively affected by presence of buildings at the site and river regulation. During the most intensive colonization process in the 1990s, the habitat preferences of the otter did not change. However, the sites inhabited by otters after 1998 were characterized by lower river width and tree cover and were more often located on regulated river sections, suggesting change in habitat tolerance during expansion. The otter abundance in transformed habitats is a result of increasing population numbers and the necessity to inhabit suboptimal sections of watercourses. Thus, it seems that presence-absence data for otter populations cannot be considered a reliable indicator of habitat quality, being depended of the population density.
