A novel shrew was discovered recently in Alaska and described based on morphological characters as Sorex yukonicus. This species is closely allied to Sorex minutissimus, a widespread shrew ranging through Eurasia. Together their distribution spans Beringia, a large Pleistocene nonglaciated area that connected Asia and North America. Beringia was repeatedly divided due to raised sea levels during Pleistocene interglacials and subsequently reconnected during glacials. We tested predictions related to the influence of large-scale geologic events on genetic variability through a phylogeographic analysis of both species of shrew using evidence from 3 independent genetic loci. We found low genetic divergence between S....
