  • Allozymic and biometric variation in Dryomys nitedula (Pallas, 1778)
    Filippucci, Maria Grazia ...
    Biometric and genetic variation were analysed among populations of D. nitedula from Italy, Balkan Peninsula, Asia Minor and Israel. The biometric analysis was carried out on specimens using 13 linear ... skull measurments. Variations in metrical characters among samples were studied by standard and multivariate analyses. The genetic analysis was carried out on 29 specimens by electrophoresis of 40 gene loci. In both analyses the Israeli sample was the most distinct. Skull of Israeli specimens are characterized by longer mandibular tooth row, higher rhamus mandibulae, longer bulae, and narrower braincase breadth, rostral breadth and interorbital constriction. Electrophoretically the Israeli sample can be discriminated from European populations by four loci (Ldh-1, G6pdh, Pep-1, and Lap-2) fixed for new alleles. The mean value of Nei's genetic distance between Israeli and European populations was D = 0.186, ranging from 0.153 to 0.227. The Israeli population, commonly attributed to the taxon phrygius, was different fromthis by biometric analysis. D. n. phrygius from the topotype locality in Asia Minor clustered with the European population from Turkish Thrase. In order to clarify the phylogenetic relationships of the Israeli forest dormouse, a comparison with other populations from the Caucasus and Iran and with Dryomys laniger from Turkey is suggested
