Figures & data
Table 1. Cytogenetic data of Chimarrogale platycephala samples examined in this study.
Figure 1 Conventionally stained (a), G-banded (b) and C-banded (c) karyotypes of C. platycephala (specimen nos.: MAI-461 for conventionally stained and G-banded karyotypes and MAI-598 for C-banded ones).
Figure 2 Conventionally stained (a), G-banded (b) and C-banded (c) karyotypes of C. platycephala showing a heteromorphic pair at the no. 23 homologue (specimen no.: MAI-462).
Figure 3 Relationships between the relative lengths of the heteromorphic constitutive heterochromatin blocks (C-block) in the no. 1 homologue among all the individuals of C. platycephala examined in this study. Left and right in each individual indicate LSA and SSA, respectively. Vertical lines and horizontal lines indicate ranges and averages, respectively. Solid rectangles indicate standard deviation. Locality codes (A–D) are explained in Table .
Figure 4 A comparison of heteromorphisms of C. platycephala samples from Aomori and Kanagawa Prefectures, Japan, according to Obara et al. (Citation1996) and the present data. In SSA, the averages of each individual from Aomori Prefecture and those of each individual from Kanagawa Prefecture are significantly different (asterisk, p < 0.05), but in LSA the averages of each individual from both prefectures do not differ significantly (ns). Horizontal bars indicate averages.
