Contribution to the taxonomy, distribution and karyology of Martes foina (Erxleben, 1777) (Mammalia: Carnivora) in Turkey

Bu ön çalışmada; Türkiye’nin değişik lokalitelerinden dokuz Kaya Sansarı kaydedildi. Bunların morfolojik karakterlerinin daha önce yayınlanmış makalelerle uygunluk gösterdiği bulundu. Ancak Türkiye Kaya sansarlarının göğüs lekeleri şekil bakımından varyasyonlar göstermektedir. Ayrıca Türkiye örneklerinin morfolojik ve biyometrik karakterlerinin M. f. syriaca ile uygunluk gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Karyolojik bulgulara göre; diploid kromozom ve temel kol sayısı sırasıyla 38 ve 76’dır.

Türkiye’deki Martes foina (Erxleben, 1777) (Mammalia: Carnivora)’nın taksonomisine, yayılışına ve karyolojisine katkılar

In this preliminary study, nine Stone Martens were recorded from different localities in Turkey. Their morphological characteristics were found to be consistent with previously published papers. However, the throat patches of Turkish Stone Martens show variations with respect to shape. In addition, it was determined that the morphologic and biometric characteristics of Turkish samples were consistent with those of M. f. syriaca. According to the karyological findings, the diploid number of chromosomes and the fundamental number were 38 and 76, respectively.
