Abstract
The karyotype of 7 species of Sciurinae representative of 6 tribes were compared: Atlantoxerus getulus, Menetes berdmorei, Callosciurus flavimanus, Heliosciurus gambianus, Sciurus vulgaris, Eutamias sibiricus, and Marmota monax. Homoeologies between almost all chromosome segments were found. Numerous similarities with the karyotypes of certain Primates and Carnivora were observed. A presumed ancestral karyotype of the Sciurinae is proposed.Entities:
