Trakya’daki Apodemus Kaup, 1826 (Mammalia: Rodentia) Cinsinin Morfometrik, Karyolojik ve Elektroforetik Analizi

Trakya’dan toplanan 32 Apodemus örne¤i bu çal›flmada de¤erlendirilmifltir. A. flavicollis and A. sylvaticus’a ait 10 örnek karyolojik çal›flmalarda kullan›lm›flt›r. Esteraz enzim sistemi özelliklerinin ortaya konmas› için 18 örnek elektroforez çal›flmalar›nda kullan›lm›flt›r. Morfometrik analizler A. flavicollis ve A. sylvaticus’un A. agrarius’a göre yak›n türler oldu¤unu ortaya koymufl olup A. flavicollis ve A. sylvaticus 2n = 48, Nfa = 46, ve NF = 48’lik ayn› karyotipik de¤erlere sahiptir. Esteraz enzim sistemi özellikleri A. flavicollis, A. sylvaticus ve A. agrarius’u belirgin olarak ay›rmaktad›r.

Morphometric, Karyotypic and Electrophoretic Analysis of the Genus Apodemus Kaup, 1826 (Mammalia: Rodentia) in Thrace

Thirty-two specimens of Apodemus in Thrace were evaluated. Ten specimens of A. flavicollis and A. sylvaticus were karyotyped. Eighteen specimens were electrophoresed to determine patterns of the esterase enzyme system. Morphometric analysis showed that A. flavicollis and A. sylvaticus were the closest species in a comparison between A. agrarius. A. flavicollis and A. sylvaticus with the same karyotypic values of 2n = 48, Nfa = 46, and NF = 48. Patterns of the esterase enzyme system clearly separated A. flavicollis, A. sylvaticus and A. agrarius.
