Karyotype of the common vole from the Warsaw suburbs

Chromosomes were examined from 16 common voles Microtus arvalis (Pallas, 1779) caught in the suburbs west of Warsaw. We found that the karyotype of all individuals was typical for M. arvalis form arvalis (2n=46, NF=80). This chromosome formula was identical to the only other karyotype of the common...

Description
Summary:Chromosomes were examined from 16 common voles Microtus arvalis (Pallas, 1779) caught in the suburbs west of Warsaw. We found that the karyotype of all individuals was typical for M. arvalis form arvalis (2n=46, NF=80). This chromosome formula was identical to the only other karyotype of the common vole from Poland (Białowieża) prepared by Fedyk (1974).
