İran’dan İki Yarasa, Myotis blythii ve Miniopterus schreibersii, (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae, Miniopteridae)’nın Karyotipleri

Vespertilionidae familyas›ndan ‹ran’dan iki yarasa türünün karyotipi incelenmifltir. Diploid kormozom say›lar› (2n) ve otozomlar›n temel kol say›lar› (NFa), Myotis blythii’de 2n = 46, NFa = 50 ve Miniopterus schreibersii için de 2n = 44 ve NFa = 54 oldu¤u belirlenmifltir. Bu karyolojik analizler ‹ran’dan ilk kez yap›lm›flt›r. Diploid kormozom say›lar› dikkate al›nd›¤›nda, ‹ran’dan olan bu yarasalar›n karyotipleri, di¤er ülkelerdeki populasyonlar›nda yap›lanlarla benzerlik göstermektedir. Ancak kromozom kol say›lar› ve dolay›s›yla otozom kol say›lar›nda biraz farkl›l›klara rastlanmaktad›r.

Karyotypes of Two Iranian Bat Species, Myotis blythii and Miniopterus schreibersii (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae, Miniopteridae)

The karyotypes of 2 bat species from Iran were examined. The diploid number of chromosomes (2n) and the fundamental numbers of chromosomal arms (NFa) were determined to be 2n = 44 and NFa = 54 for Myotis blythii and 2n = 46 and NFa = 50 for Miniopterus schreibersii, respectively. The karyotypes of Iranian bats show similarity within populations in other countries with respect to the diploid chromosome numbers; however, they are quite different in the fundamental chromosome numbers and the numbers of autosomal arms.
