| Description: |
G- and C-banded karyotypes for two insular species of deer mice, Peromyscus slevini and P. sejugis , are described and analyzed relative to the evolutionary relationship of these species to and their inclusion within the P. maniculatus species group. The chromosomal phenotype of P. slevini is unique among all banded karyotypes reported for Peromyscus , and comparison with published karyotypes suggests that P. slevini has systematic affinities with either the P. boylii or P. mexicanus species groups. The karyotypic data for P. sejugis clearly align these mice with P. maniculatus and provide a diagnostic character that supports the specific distinction between these taxa. |
