Popis:	Taxonomic identification of arvicolines (Arvicolinae, Rodentia) based on dental characteristics without taking into account cranial, external, or other nondental features is an important task in neontology when studying the diets of carnivorous mammals and birds of prey and in Quaternary paleontology, biostratigraphy, and paleoecology. The morphological criteria for the taxonomic identification of arvicoline molars are formalized in this paper. Dichotomous keys to identification of modern and Pleistocene arvicoline taxa of the Urals and Western Siberia based on the structural and histological characteristics and the occlusal configuration of the first lower molar are proposed.
