Cytogenetic analysis of cryptic species in allopatric population (2n = 60, NF = 82) of Nannospalax sp. (Spalacidae, Rodentia): conventional karyotype, constitutive heterochromatin, and NOR localization

Cytogenetic analysis of cryptic species in allopatric population (2n = 60, NF = 82) of Nannospalax sp. (Spalacidae, Rodentia): conventional karyotype, constitutive heterochromatin, and NOR localization

In the present study, the 2n = 60, NF = 82 chromosomal form of blind mole rats, Nannospalax sp., from Arapgir-Malatya Province in Turkey was investigated. Conventional chromosome staining, NOR (Nucleolus Organizer Region), and C-banding analysis were carrie...
