DNA tests on British populations of small mammals show a genetically distinct "Celtic Fringe", say scientists at The University of York.
Voles, shrews, mice and stoats in northern and western areas have different DNA from their counterparts in other parts of the British Isles.
The paper, in Proceedings B journal, says the different populations arrived at the end of the last ice age.
