We consider that an Rb system exists in Peloponnisos, southern Greece, distributed in an area that is substantially larger than previously known. It consists of at least three Rb races with 2n = 30, 2n = 24 and 2n = 28, respectively, the last being reported for the first time in this paper and carrying Rb(3.6), Rb(8.12), Rb(10.14), Rb(13.15), Rb(9.16) and Rb(11.17) in a homozygous state. Additional instances of variation in this Rb system include individuals with 2n = 31 and 32 of variable Rb constitution and hybrids between the Rb races with 2n = 30 and 2n = 24. In southern Peloponnisos, Rb(10.14) was found in either a homozygous or a heterozygous state (2n = 38 or 39). The relationships among the Rb populations of Peloponnisos are discussed and hypotheses for their evolution are proposed. Rb variation was also recorded in two new locations of eastern Sterea Ellas (2n = 28 and 29) and one in Ipiros, north-west Greece (2n = 38). These findings corroborate the existence of two separate Rb systems in those two areas. Moreover, among a number of islands surveyed, Rb variation was only found in Kythira island, with Rb(10.14) in a heterozygous state (2n = 39). Finally, the typical all-acrocentric karyotype (2n = 40) was found in 51 of the animals studied from 13 localities. {\textcopyright} 2005 The Linnean Society of London.}, keywords = {Chromosomal speciation, Contact zones, evolution, House mouse, hybridization, Mammalia, Monobrachial homology, Robertsonian fusion, Robertsonian race, Robertsonian system}, author = {Mitsainas, G.P. and Giagia-Athanasopoulou, E.B.} } @article {12792, title = {mtDNA variation and evaluation of phylogenetic relationships among karyotypically polymorphic populations of Microtus (Terricola) thomasi (Arvicolidae, Rodentia) from Greece}, journal = {Biological Journal of the Linnean SocietyBiological Journal of the Linnean Society}, volume = {84}, number = {1}, year = {2005}, note = {Export Date: 4 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Arbogast, B.S., Kenagy, G.J., Comparative phylogeography as an integrative approach to historical biogeography (2001) Journal of Biogeography, 28, pp. 819-825; Avise, J.C., Ten unorthodox perspectives on evolution prompted by comparative population genetic findings on mitochondrial DNA (1991) Annual Reviews on Genetics, 25, pp. 45-69; Avise, J.C., (1994) Molecular Markers, Natural History and Evolution, , New York: Chapman \& Hall; Avise, J.C., (2000) Phylogeography: The History and Formation of Species, , Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press; Avise, J.C., Arnold, J., Ball, R.M., Bermingham, E., Lamb, T., Neigel, J.E., Reeb, C.A., Saunders, N.C., Intraspecific phylogeography: The mitochondrial bridge between population genetics and systematics (1987) Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 18, pp. 489-522; Avise, J.C., Lansman, R.A., Shade, R.O., The use of restriction endonucleases to measure mitochondrial DNA sequences relatedness in natural populations.

In order to test the significance of geographical isolation and/ or karyological differences in microevolutionary processes at the intraspecific level we used restriction enzymes and partial sequencing to study the polymorphism of the mtDNA D-loop control region in ten Greek populations. An overall high rate of both inter- and intrapopulation polymorphism was observed. The mtDNA diversity was unevenly distributed so that most of the populations studied were very similar and closely related, and only a few of them were clearly differentiated from the others. The mtDNA analysis failed to reveal any clear variation pattern that could be correlated with karyotypic forms or geographical proximity of the populations studied. Instead, the mtDNA phylogeny gave evidence in support of the coexistence of non-polymorphic (2n = 44) and polymorphic (2n < 44) karyotypic forms within the ancestral Greek M. (T.) thomasi stock. Interestingly, only one population (Agios Stefanos) seemed to significantly diverge from all the others in both methods used, forming a well-supported paraphyletic clade. Allozymic studies have already reported similar results, corroborating the genetic peculiarity of this population. {\textcopyright} 2005 The Linnean Society of London.}, keywords = {D-loop, Karyotypic forms, Mammalia, phylogeny, RFLPs, sequencing}, author = {Thanou, E. and Fraguedakis-Tsolis, S. and Chondropoulos, B.} } @article {3621, title = {Molecular taxonomy and phylogeography of Miniopterus schreibersii (Kuhl, 1817) (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), in the Eurasian transition}, journal = {Biological Journal of the Linnean SocietyBiological Journal of the Linnean Society}, volume = {87}, number = {4}, year = {2006}, pages = {577}, publisher = {Blackwell Synergy}, abstract = {Miniopterus schreibersii is a polytypic bat species, with one of the widest distribution ranges among the mammals. We studied the genetic differentiation and taxonomy of this species in the transition zone between south-eastern Europe and Anatolia (in Asia), where two subspecies have been described. The results indicated a sharp genetic break between the samples from western Anatolia and south-eastern Europe and those of eastern Anatolia. In addition, the samples from western Anatolia and south-eastern Europe were seen to be reciprocally monophyletic, although the differentiation was less drastic. These patterns of genetic differentiation suggest the presence of two distinct groups within the M. schreibersii complex in the region, concordant with previous subspecific recognition. The cause of this genetic break is most likely differentiation in separate glacial refugia followed by secondary contact. However, more samples are needed to assess whether these represent different species, as well as to understand more clearly the causes of this differentiation. }, keywords = {Mammalia}, author = {Bilgin, R. and Karatas, A. and Coraman, E. and Pandurski, I. and Papadatou, E. and Morales, J.
