Abstract
The karyotypes of 2 bat species from Iran were examined. The diploid number of chromosomes (2n) and the fundamental numbers of chromosomal arms (NFa) were determined to be 2n = 44 and NFa = 54 for Myotis blythii and 2n = 46 and NFa = 50 for Miniopterus schreibersii, respectively. The karyotypes of Iranian bats show similarity within populations in other countries with respect to the diploid chromosome numbers; however, they are quite different in the fundamental chromosome numbers and the numbers of autosomal arms.
Özet
Vespertilionidae familyas›ndan ‹ran’dan iki yarasa türünün karyotipi incelenmifltir. Diploid kormozom say›lar› (2n) ve otozomlar›n temel kol say›lar› (NFa), Myotis blythii’de 2n = 46, NFa = 50 ve Miniopterus schreibersii için de 2n = 44 ve NFa = 54 oldu¤u belirlenmifltir. Bu karyolojik analizler ‹ran’dan ilk kez yap›lm›flt›r. Diploid kormozom say›lar› dikkate al›nd›¤›nda, ‹ran’dan olan bu yarasalar›n karyotipleri, di¤er ülkelerdeki populasyonlar›nda yap›lanlarla benzerlik göstermektedir. Ancak kromozom kol say›lar› ve dolay›s›yla otozom kol say›lar›nda biraz farkl›l›klara rastlanmaktad›r.
