Abstract excerpt
B chromosomes are found in almost all populations of the yellow-necked mouse, Apodemus flavicollis (Rodentia, Mammalia). Their effects on developmental homeostasis in this species were analyzed using morphological nonmetric traits (number of foramina) in a sample of 218 animals from locality Mt Jastrebac in the former Yugoslavia. Variations of the parameters of developmental homeostasis (the degree of fluctuating...
