Available data on karyotypes of the mammals from Turkey and neighbouring regions (the
Balkans, the Caucasus, and the Middle East) were summarized and reviewed in respect of …

The blind mole rats (Spalacinae) reveal fascinating chromosomal variation, resulting from
complex karyotype re-arrangements. This variation occurs between species, between …

A higher–taxon approach to rodent conservation priorities for the 21st century.—Although
rodents are not considered among the most threatened mammals, there is ample historical …

Comparative studies among seven populations of 2n= 60 S. leucodon employing classic
cytogenetics (G-bands, C-bands, AgNOR-staining), fluorochrome staining, and fluorescence …

We described the genetic variation of cytochrome b gene sequences of blind mole rats in
Turkey. We examined 47 individuals belonging to nine cytotypes of three superspecies …

We performed this study on the subterranean mole rat Nannospalax xanthodon (Nehring,
1898) in western Turkey and we analyzed karyotypes of 121 specimens from 54 localities …

The karyotypes of 73 specimens of subterranean mole rats of the superspecies Spalax
leucodon Nordmann, 1840 from 21 localities, and six specimens of the superspecies Spalax …

Available data on the distribution and karyology of Nannospalax (superspecies leucodon)
from the Carpathian Basin are summarized. We argue that four chromosomal forms of the …

Mole rats are exclusively subterranean and highly specialized rodents. Their long lifespans,
remarkable anti-cancer mechanisms, and various distinctive adaptive features make them a …

We used 33 blind mole rats belonging to 10 different chromosomal races from 10 localities
in western Turkey. We applied G-and C-banding techniques to compare chromosomal races …
