PARTICULARITIES OF COMMON SHREW (SOREX ARANEUS) GENETIC DIVERSITY ON THE TERRITORY OF BELARUS
Abstract
On the basis of karyology research presents an analysis of the spread of Sorex araneus chromosomal races in Belarus. Caught specimens belong to three races: Białowieza (Bi), Nerussa (Ne), and Kiev (Ki). In contrast to the territories of contiguous countries, the populations of the common shrew of Belarus are characterized by strongly a pronounced karyotypic polymorphism.
