The paper identifies a mutation in the MC1R gene responsible for seasonal camouflage in least weasels and shows it was maintained by spatially varying selection.

This study presents the first comprehensive comparative and phylogenomic analysis of the Mustelinae lineage, revealing genome size variation, chromosomal evolution, and demographic responses to climate cycles across ten species.

The paper uses ddRAD-seq to analyze genetic divergence and population structure in two Apodemus species in northern Poland, finding clear species differentiation and limited population structure within A. flavicollis.
