Abstract

Molecular markers of cryptic cytogenetical differentiation were shown in chromosomal polymorphic Pan-European model group of rodents Microtus arvalis s. l. by FISH analysis. The polytypy of 46-chromosomes karyotypes determined by the sites of interstitial telomeric sequences (ITS) and ribosomal DNA emphasizes the genetical isolation of M. arvalis s. s. and M. obscurus.
