Özet

The results of a cytogenetic study on some representatives of Gliridae from Turkey were introduced. The G-, C-, and AgNOR banded karyotypes of Muscardinus avellanarius abanticus from Abant (Bolu), and the G-banded karyotype of Myomimus roachi from Thrace were presented for the first time. Additionally, the G-banded karyotypes of Dryomys nitedula, and Myoxus glis were analysed. Because of not including a secondary constriction and the smallest chromosome being metacentric instead of acrocentric in the autosomal set, the karyotype of M. a. abanticus was different from that of M. a. trapezius. With the comparison of obtained G-banded patterns belonging to the other Glirid species, it was detected that obtained karyotypes displayed consistency at a great extent with the previously determined karyotypes.
