A cytotaxonomic approach of the systematics of Arvicanthis niloticus (Desmarest 1822) (Mammalia Rodentia)

Arvicanthis niloticus (Desmarest 1822) (Mammalia Rodentia) exhibits different karyotypes in different populations throughout its wide distribution area, characterized by diploid numbers ranging from 2n = 62 to 56. A 44 chromosome karyotype is described in one A. niloticus from Somalia. The taxonomic...

Zusammenfassung:Arvicanthis niloticus (Desmarest 1822) (Mammalia Rodentia) exhibits different karyotypes in different populations throughout its wide distribution area, characterized by diploid numbers ranging from 2n = 62 to 56. A 44 chromosome karyotype is described in one A. niloticus from Somalia. The taxonomic and evolutionary inferences are discussed.
