picture info	Micromys ''Micromys'' is a genus of small rodents in the subfamily Murinae. The genus contains two living species: the widespread Eurasian harvest mouse (''Micromys minutus'') of much of Europe and Asia; and the more restricted Indochinese harvest mouse (''Micromys erythrotis'') of Vietnam, southern China, and perhaps nearby regions. Fossils of ''Micromys'' date back to the Late Miocene and include at least 10 extinct species, which form several lineages. Taxonomy ''Micromys'' is not closely related to any other murine genus, which has made elucidating its phylogenetic relationships difficult. Previously, it was placed in a distinct murine clade also containing '' Hapalomys'', ''Chiropodomys'', and ''Vandeleuria'', but studies have since found this clade to be polyphyletic, and instead found ''Micromys'' to belong to a division of its own that forms a sister group to the tribe Rattini Rattini is a very large, diverse tribe of muroid rodents in the subfamily Murinae.

picture info	Micromys Minutus The harvest mouse (''Micromys minutus'') is a small rodent native to Europe and Asia. It is typically found in fields of cereal crops, such as wheat and oats, in reed beds and in other tall ground vegetation, such as long grass and hedgerows. It has reddish-brown fur with white underparts and a naked, highly prehensile tail, which it uses for climbing. It is the smallest European rodent; an adult may weigh as little as . It eats chiefly seeds and insects, but also nectar and fruit. Breeding nests are spherical constructions carefully woven from grass and attached to stems well above the ground. History The genus ''Micromys'' most likely evolved in Asia and is closely related to the long-tailed climbing mouse (''Vandeleuria'') and the pencil-tailed tree mouse (''Chiropodomys''). ''Micromys'' first emerged in the fossil record in the late Pliocene, with ''Micromys minutus'' being recorded from the Early Pleistocene in Germany. They underwent a reduction in range during glacial peri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
