Apodemini Explained
Apodemini is a tribe of muroid rodents in the subfamily Murinae.[1] It contains two extant genera, one found throughout Eurasia and the other endemic to the Ryukyu Islands. Several fossil genera are also known from throughout Eurasia, including one large species (Rhagamys) that persisted on Sardinia and Corsica up until at least the first millennium BC, when it was likely wiped out by human activity.[2] [3] [4]
