Comparison of the chromosome banding patterns in three species of social voles (Microtus irani karamani, M-schidlovskii, M-anatolicus) from Turkey

Abstract

The karyotypes of three species of social voles recently discovered in Turkey (Microtus irani karamani, M. schidlovskii, and M. anatolicus) were investigated. All specimens examined revealed similar karyotypes comprising 60 chromosomes in the diploid comp
