| Özet |
| the results of a karyological study on the dormice Myoxus glis (2n= 62) and Dryomys nitedula (2n= 48), the ground squirrel Spermophilus citellus (2n= 40) and the red bank vole Myodes glareolus (2n= 56) from Greece are presented. apart from the clarification of their diploid chromosome number, a more elaborate study of their karyotype was conducted and the Gand C-banding patterns are provided for the first time in Greek populations of these species. in particular, heterochromatin distribution in D. nitedula seems to be more extensive than previously thought, contrasting M. glis, in which heterochromatin seems to be absent. on the other hand, the Y chromosome of M. glareolus was found to be a fully heterochromatic submetacentric. in overall, the comparison of our karyological results, with those of other Eurasian populations reinforce the belief that the karyotypes of the studied species are conservative, displaying small degrees of variation, usually restricted to the size and morphology of the sex chromosomes. |
