摘要：

The epigenetic cranial polymorphism and population epigenetic variation of the European water vole (Arvicola amphibius Linnaeus, 1758) from Hungary based on the frequencies of 13 non-metric cranial traits was studied. The comparative analysis of epigenetic distances of Hungarian water vole from other populations of A. amphibius and from southern water vole (Arvicola sapidus Miller, 1908) from Europe revealed a sharp distinction of the Hungarian population from the others. Registered considerable epigenetic uniqueness of A. amphibius in the central part of its European area proved the polytypical cranial epigenetic character of the water vole in Europe.
