Karyotypes of two ıranian bat species, Myotis biythii and Miniopterus schreibersii (chiroptera: vespertilionidae, miniopteridae)

Vespertilionidae familyasından İran’dan iki yarasa türünün karyotipi incelenmiştir. Diploid kormozom sayıları (2n) ve otozomların temel kol sayıları (NFa), Myotis blythii’de 2n = 46, NFa = 50 ve Miniopterus schreibersii için de 2n = 44 ve NFa = 54 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu karyolojik analizler İran’dan ilk kez yapılmıştır. Diploid kormozom sayıları dikkate alındığında, İran’dan olan bu yarasaların karyotipleri, diğer ülkelerdeki populasyonlarında yapılanlarla benzerlik göstermektedir. Ancak kromozom kol sayıları ve dolayısıyla otozom kol sayılarında biraz farklılıklara rastlanmaktadır.

İran'dan iki yarasa, Myotis biythii ve Miniopterus schreibersii, (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae, Miniopteridae)'nın karyotipleri

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.
