G-banded Karyotypes of Some Species in Gliridae (Mammalia: Rodentia) from Turkey

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: The results of a cytogenetic study on some representatives of Gliridae from Turkey were introduced. The G-, C-, and AgNOR banded karyotypes of Muscardinus avellanarius abanticus from Abant (Bolu), and the G-banded karyotype of Myomimus roachi from Thrace were presented for the first time. Additionally, the G-banded karyotypes of Dryomys nitedula, and Myoxus glis were analysed. Because of not including a secondary constriction and the smallest chromosome being metacentric instead of acrocentric in the autosomal set, the karyotype of M. a. abanticus was different from that of M. a. trapezius . With the comparison of obtained G-banded patterns belonging to the other Glirid species, it was detected that obtained karyotypes displayed consistency at a great extent with the previously determined karyotypes.
