Abstract

Allozyme variability of the common shrew Sorex araneus in Western Siberia was studied. The low level of genetic variability and the lack of significant differences in performance polymorphism of populations living in the taiga, subtaiga and forest-steppe regions were revealed. The high level of genetic differentiation of populations belonging to the adjacent chromosomal races – Novosibirsk and Serov ( FST = 0.3) was shown.
