On the distribution,taxonomy and karyolog of the genus Plecotus (Chiroptera:Vespertilionidae) in Turkey

Plecotus auritus sekiz ve Plecotus austriacus üç lokaliteden olmak üzere Anadolu'dan kaydedildi, ilk premolarların uzunluğu, zygomatik yayın ve bakulumun şeklinin bu taksonları birbirinden ayırdığı saptandı. Bu morfolojik karakterlerden başka, P. autriacus'un tibia uzunluğunun P. austriacus'tan istatistik! olarak daha büyük olduğu belirlendi (P < 0.05). Diploid kromozom sayısı her iki taksonda benzer bir şekilde 2n = 32 dir. P. austriacus'un kromozom kol sayılarının (FN = 54) ve otosomal kromozom kol sayılarının (FNa = 50) literatüre uygun olduğu bulundu.

Türkiye'de yayılış gösteren Plecotus (Chiroptera:Vespertilionidae) cinsinin yayılışı,taksonomisi ve karyolojisi üzerine bir araştırma

Plecotus auritus and Plecotus austriacus were recorded from 8 and 3 localities in the Asiatic part of Turkey, respectively. It was determined that the length of the first premolar, the shape of the zygomatic arches and baculum distinguish these taxa from each other. Apart from these morphological characteristics, the tibia length of P. austriacus was found to be significantly greater than that of P. austriacus (P < 0.05). The diploid chromosome numbers were identical in both taxa (2n = 32). The number of chromosomal arms (FN = 54) and the number of autosomal chromosomal arms (FNa = 50) were the same as in previously published papers on P. austriacus.
