“…Similarly, the Y chromosome differs from that of previous studies. The Y chromosome of the sample obtained from the Meryemana region of Trabzon is small acrocentric (Zima et al, 1998;Aslan and Zima, 2014). However, the Y chromosome obtained in the present study is large acrocentric in the karyotype set.…”

The karyotype of the Caucasian pygmy shrew (Sorex volnuchini) consists of 2n = 40 NFa = 54. The X chromosome is metacentric and the Y chromosome is large acrocentric. In the chromosome set, there are six metacentric/submetacentric, one large subtelocentric, one small metacentric, and 11 acrocentric autosomal chromosome pairs. C-negative and C-positive heterochromatin band regions are determined in the karyotype. NORs were localized in the secondary constriction in autosomal pair no. 17 of Sorex volnuchini. The diploid number of the Levant mole (Talpa levantis) is 2n = 34, NFa = 64. The X chromosome is medium size and metacentric. The Y chromosome is the smallest chromosome in the karyotype. There are 10 pairs of metacentric, three submetacentric, and three subtelocentric chromosomes in the chromosome set and X is metacentric and Y is acrocentric. In the karyotype, NOR is located in the secondary constriction region of chromosome no. 8.

“…2n=40 diploid set involving wholly acrocentric chromosomes is determined as a characteristic karyotype for Mus domesticus and Mus macedonicus in different parts of their distribution areas, although Robertsonian fusion leads to some karyological variations in this genus (Zima and Kral 1984;Gündüz et al 2000a, Arslan andZima 2014). Standard karyotype including 40 acrocentric chromosomes has been reported for M. domesticus and M. macedonicus from Central Anatolia, Western Black Sea and Eastern Anatolia in Turkey (Gündüz et al 2000b;Gözcelioğlu et al 2005;.…”

A chromosomal study on five different rodent species (Mus domesticus, Mus macedonicus, Apodemus sylvaticus, Apodemus witherbyi and Rattus rattus) from Gökçeada and Bozcaada in Aegean Sea and Marmara Island in Marmara Sea was performed to fill the deficiency of karyological information about island populations of these species. Diploid chromosome sets (2n) and fundamental numbers of chromosomal arms (NF) were determined to be 2n = 40, 40, 48, 48 and 38, NF = 40, 40, 48, 48 and 60 for M. domesticus, M. macedonicus, A. sylvaticus, A. witherbyi and R. rattus respectively. Results showed that there was no difference between karyological values in island and continental populations of those rodents, although Aegean and Marmara seas have served as geographic barriers for a long time between islands and mainland. In addition to the karyotypes of M. domesticus, M. macedonicus, A. sylvaticus and R. rattus, their presence in Marmara Islands were firstly determined by current study. Özet Beş farklı kemirici türünün (Mus domesticus, Mus macedonicus, Apodemus sylvaticus, Apodemus witherbyi ve Rattus rattus)Türkiye'deki ada populasyonlarına ilişkin karyolojik bilgi eksikliğini gidermek amacıyla, bu türlerin Ege Denizi'nde yer alan Gökçeada ve Bozcaada ile Marmara Denizi'nde yer alan Marmara Adası'nda yayılış gösteren populasyonları üzerine kromozomal bir çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. M. domesticus, M. macedonicus, A. sylvaticus, A. witherbyi ve R. rattus için diploit kromozom sayıları ve temel kromozom kol sayıları sırasıyla 2n = 40, 40, 48, 48 ve 38, NF = 40, 40, 48, 48 ve 60 olarak belirlenmiştir. Ege Denizi ve Marmara Denizi bu türlerin adalarda ve anakarada yayılış gösteren populasyonları arasında gen akışının kesilmesine neden olan coğrafik bariyerler olarak uzun süredir görev yapmaktadır, buna rağmen, bu çalışma ile bu kemirici türlerinin adalarda ve anakarada yayılış gösteren populasyonları arasında karyolojik bakımdan herhangi bir farklılaşma olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, M. domesticus, M. macedonicus, A. sylvaticus ve R. rattus'un Marmara Adası'nda yayılış gösterdiği ilk kez bu çalışma ile belirlenmiştir.

“…The karyotype characteristics were determined as 2n = 52, NFa = 94, and NF = 98, and the X and Y chromosomes were subtelocentric. Arslan and Zima (2014) stated that the karyotype characteristics of this species have not yet been reported from Turkey. In the N. anomalus karyotype, the number of diploid chromosomes is 2n = 52.…”

“…In the karyotype, 10 pairs of metacentric, 10 pairs of submetacentric, 2 pairs of subtelocentric, and 3 pairs of acrocentric chromosomes were usually recognized (Meylan, 1966;Rimsa et al, 1978;Zima, 1984). While the morphology of the X chromosome was reported as subtelocentric, submetacentric, and metacentric, the morphology of the Y chromosome was assessed as subtelocentric, submetacentric, and acrocentric (Fredga and Levan, 1969;Rimsa et al, 1978;Jimenez et al, 1984;Zima, 1984;Ivanitskaya, 1989;Arslan and Zima, 2014). Chassovnikarova et al (2009) reported C and NOR band characteristics of 3 males and 2 females collected from the Veleka River in the Stranca Mountains of Bulgaria.…”

“…Although this karyotype is congruent with studies reported by Meylan (1966), Rimza et al (1978), Jimenez et al (1984), and Zima et al (1998), a difference was indicated in the morphology of the X chromosome. Arslan and Zima (2014) reported karyotypic data for N. anomalus from Turkey based on specimens investigated from Demirköy (Kırklareli), Lake Abant (Bolu), Uludağ Mountain (Bursa), Yenice (Zonguldak), Lake Eber (Afyon), and Çırpılar (Çanakkale). The karyotype characteristics were 2n = 52, NFa = 94, and NF = 98; the X chromosome was subtelocentric and the Y chromosome was submetacentric.…”
