As to sympatric species, some points are important. First, the differences in responses that we observed in these experiments to urine of sympatric, closely related species were similar to those found in previous studies in which preferences were examined between conspecific urine and urine of sympatric species that were unrelated to the subjects (Apodemus flavicollis, Cricetulus migratorius, Sokolov et al. 1990). Secondly, M m. musculus and M spicilegus males preferred the odors of estrous females over males when tested with either urine of a conspecific female and a conspecific male or urine of a heterospecific female and a heterospecific male (Sokolov, Kotenkova Lyalyukhina, 1985, Table 2).

EHfferences also occur in the characteristics of the repetitious DNA between closely related species of rodents (Hennig and Walker, 1970). Within the family Cricetidae, Arvicola (water vole) has only 5 percent of its DNA in the intermediate fraction, whereas in one species of Clethrionomys (red-backed vole) 11 percent of the DNA is of the intermediate type. In Rattus rattus (black rat) about 4 percent of the DNA has repetitiousness of the intermediate type, h xi Apodemus flavicollis (field mouse) has 13 percent of its DNA in the intermediate fraction. Both R. rattus and A. flavicollis are members of the family Muridae.
