Cytogenetic study of the Siberian mole, Talpa altaica (Insectivora : Talpidae) and karyological relationships within the genus Talpa

Abstract

INTRODUCTION The Old World mole genus Talpa includes eight species (Hutterer 1993). Chromosome studies of these species are rather limited (Meylan 1966 ; Meylan 1968 ; Gropp 1969 ; Todorovic and Soldatovic 1969 ; Dzuev et al 1972 ; Kozlovsky et a L 1972 ; Kratochvfl and Krai 1972; Todorovic et al. 1972; Capanna 1981 ; Dzuev 1982). No comparative karyological survey has been conducted among these species based on differentially stained chromosomes, although G- and C-banded karyotypes have been reported for the European mole, T. europaea, and the Iberian mole, T. occidentalis (Zima 1983 ; Jimenez et al. 1984).
