A stduy on the morphology,karyology and distribution of Ellobius Fisher,1814 (Mammalia:Rodentia) in Iran

Bu çalışmada iran'ın batı, merkez, doğu ve güneydoğu bölgelerinden toplanan 180 adet Ellobius örneği morfolojik, biyometrik ve karyolojik olarak araştırıldı. Elde edilen bulgulara göre iran'da üç tür; Ellobius fuscocapillus, Ellobius lutescens ve Ellobius talpinus, yayılış göstermektedir. Karyolojik bulgular, E. fuscocapillus' ta 2n = 36 (NF = 58, NFa = 54), E. lutescens'te 2n = 17 (NF = 34, NFa = 32), E. talpinus'ta Zn = 52 (NF = 54, NFa = 50) olduğunu teyit etti

İran'daki Ellobius Fisher,1814 (Mammalia:Rodentia)'un morfolojisi,karyolojisi ve yayılışı üzerine bir çalışma

In this study, 180 mole-vole specimens collected from west, central, east and southeast Iran were investigated by morphological, biometrical and karyological methods. According to our findings, 3 different species, Ellobius fuscocapillus, Ellobius lutescens and Ellobius talpinus, are distributed in Iran. Karyological findings showed that E. fuscocapillus has 2n = 36 (NF = 58, NFa = 54), E. lutescens has 2n = 17 (NF = 34, NFa = 32) and E. talpinus has 2n = 52 (NF = 54, NFa = 50) chromosomes.
