Abstract

Topotypes of Microtus guentheri were compared with specimens of the genus Microtus with 2n=54 chromosomes from western Anatolia. According to morphological and biometrical comparisons, it was determined that M. guentheri is a different species from Microtus lydius. The dorsal colour and the shape of the baculum distinguish M. guentheri from M. lydius orphologically. In addition, ear length, interorbital constriction, mastoid breadth, height of tympanic bulla and weight of M. guentheri were found to be statistically different from those of the nominate subspecies of M. lydius (p

Özet

Microtus guentheri'nin topotipleri Batı Anadolu'da yayılış gösteren Microtus cinsinin 2n 54 kromozomlu Örnekleri ile karşılaştırıldı. Morfolojik ve biyometrik karşılaştırmalar sonucu M. guentheri'nin M. lydius'tan ayrı bir takson olduğu belirlendi. Dorsal renk ve bakulum şekli M. guentheri'yi M. lydius'tan ayırmaktadır. Bunlara ilaveten, M. guentheri'nin kulak uzunluğu, interorbital genişliği, mastoid genişliği, timpanik bulla yüksekliği ve ağırlığı M. lydius'un nominatif alttüründen istatistiki olarak farklı bulundu (p
