The analysis of multiple markers promises higher resolution, and congruence among loci may indicate that the phylogenies represent the underlying species history. Here we examine the utility of a genome-wide approach based on amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) and several DNA sequence markers in resolving phylogenetic signals in the rapidly radiating rodent genus Microtus which produced about 70 vole species within the last 1.2 to 2 million years. The current Holarctic distribution of Microtus is assumed to have resulted from three independent colonization events out of Asia to North America, Europe, and northern Asia without subsequent colonization, which would have led to deep splits between species from different continents. We investigated this hypothesis of three single colonization events by reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships among species from all three continents based on data from the first exon of the nuclear arginine vasopressin receptor 1a gene (EXON1), an adjacent non-coding region and the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. The phylogenetic patterns obtained from these sequence markers are contrasted to genome-wide data on more than 1,800 amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) analyzed for the same samples. Our results show that the single sequence markers partially resolve the phylogenetic relationships within Microtus, but with some incongruence mostly between EXON1 and the other loci. However, deeper nodes of the radiation are only weakly supported and neither the combination of the markers nor additional nuclear sequences improved the resolution significantly. AFLPs provided much stronger support for major continent-specific clades, and show also that reciprocal monophyly of American and European voles is incomplete. Our results demonstrate that Microtus voles colonized the American and European continents each repeatedly in several independent events on similar colonization routes during their radiation. More generally, this study supports the suitability of AFLPs as an alternative to sequence markers to resolve the evolutionary history of rapidly radiating taxa.} }
