[Analysis of allozyme variability in populations of three species of brush-haired mice of species Lophuromys (Rodentia, Muridae) from the Bale Mountains National Park in Ethiopia].

Abstract excerpt

Allozyme variability was examined in populations of three endemic species of the species complex Lophuromys flavopunctatus sensu lato: L. chrysopus, L. brevicaudus, and L. melanonyx. These species substitute each other in adjacent latitudinal belts of the Bale Massif in Ethiopia. A deficit of heterozygotes at several loci was found in most samples of all species studied. Moreover, the samples included animals...
