So, M. daubentonii turns out to be a close cousin of M. bechsteinii Europe in the newly defined group of murine Palearctic, M. lucifugus it is associated with other species in the American. Based on ecomorphological convergences (ecology + morphology), species were grouped, considered from a single common ancestor so close that it was equivalent ecological appeared simultaneously in different biogeographic regions (Ruedi et Mayer 2001).
Hivyo, M. awali phylogenetic uchambuzi inathibitisha kuwa karibu binamu M. bechsteinii Ulaya katika kundi wapya defined ya Palearctic murine, M. lucifugus ni kuhusishwa na aina nyingine katika kundi Marekani. Kulingana na convergences ecomorphological (Ikolojia + maumbile), aina walikuwa makundi, kuchukuliwa kutoka babu moja ya kawaida hivyo karibu kuwa ni sawa kiikolojia alionekana wakati huo huo katika mikoa mbalimbali biogeographic (Ruedi et Mayer 2001).
