We studied the variability of a fragment of the cytochrome b gene and the corresponding amino acid sequence of the field mouse Apodemus agrarius (Pallas, 1771) in the South of Primorskii krai (Far East of Russia). A significant polymorphism of these traits was detected. High indices of molecular diversity were obtained. The topology of the phylogenetic tree and the median networks suggest that the population of field mice in the south of Primorskii krai originated from three maternal lines. It was noted that clustering of haplotypes on a territorial basis is absent, and the field mouse population in southern Primorskii krai can be considered as one of the key points in maintaining a high genetic diversity of the species.
