Karyological Peculiarities of Mole Rats (Nannospalax) (Rodentia: Spalacidae) From Iğdır Province
Öz
This investigation has been carried out a total of six (4 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀) Nannospalax specimens collected from Tuzluca Town, Gaziler-Kazkoparan Village locality of Iğdır province-Turkey were studied karyologically. The chromosomal analysis was performed on preparations obtained from bone marrow. The data obtained from the specimens were compared with the results of the previous karyological studies. Voucher specimens (Skins and skulls) and slides have been deposited at the Dicle University, Faculty Sciences, and Department of Biology. The karyology of the specimen of the genus Nannospalax was de ned as diploid chromosome numbers were 2n = 48, fundamental chromosome arm numbers of NF = 68 and autosomal arm numbers of NFa = 64. Results showed that the only one chromosomal form of Nannospalax is living around Iğdır province. Karyological studies should be continued with more samples from Iğdır.
