the brush-tailed mice of the genus calomyscus are distributed in the mountains of central asia and the middle east. the genus calomyscus represents five nominate species from iran (c. bailwardi, c. grandis, c. hotsoni, c. urartensis and c. elburzensis). in total 64 specimens from four species of calomyscus were studied for morphometric analyses the morphological differences among 10 populations...

cytogenetic approaches are used in systematic studies implying differences between species and variation between populations. in this study, morphology of chromosomes and chromosome number of 210 specimens of 23 rodent species from different localities of iran were investigated. specimens belong to five families comprising dipodidae (allactaga elater (2n=48, fna=92); a. williamsi (2n=48, fna=92...

Calomyscus elburzensis Goodwin, 1938, was previously known from central and northern Iran to southern and southwestern Turkmenistan and northwestern Afghanistan. Its type locality is at altitude of 1200m elevation in the Kurkhud Mts., North Khorasan province in northeastern Iran. This study provides new evidence that its range is more extensive than thought previously and central Iranian Mounta...
