Tribe of rodents
Apodemini is a tribe of muroid rodents in the subfamily Murinae .[ 1] [ 2] 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.[ 3] [ 4] [ 5]
