C. russula zimmermanni Wettstein, 1953 is a well defined species: C. zimmermanni Wettstein, 1953. The populations of C. suaveolens in Crete, whose presence on the island dates from at least 3500 year b.p. is biochemically very similar to those of C. suaveolens from Turkey. The same set of electrophoresis data suggests that C. suaveolens from Cyprus became isolated from mainland populations much earlier. C. zimmermanni shows closer phylogenetic relationships with C. leucodon and C. suaveolens, than with C. russula. Endemic in Crete, C. zimmermanni is syntopic with C. suaveolens at medium and high altitudes, but has been eliminated by the latter in the fertile lowland plains.10aMammalia1 aVogel, P.1 aMaddalena, T.1 aCatzeflis, F. uhttps://icgf.myspecies.info/content/contribution-taxonomy-and-ecology-shrews-crocidura-zimmermanni-and-crocidura-suaveolens01327nas a2200121 4500008004100000245009800041210006900139300001200208490000700220520083100227100001801058856012901076 1983 eng d00aAnalyse cytologique et biochimique des Crocidures de l'ile de Chypre (Mammalia, Insectivora).0 aAnalyse cytologique et biochimique des Crocidures de lile de Chy a407-4160 v903 a Shrews of the genus Crocidura from the island of Cyprus were analyzed cytologically and biochemically. The karyotype of all the animals studied is 2N = 40 with a fundamental number NF = 50, as also found in C. suaveolens from Italy and Switzerland. Biochemical variation at 28 genetic loci was expressed by Nei's genetic distance. This distance gives very high values when calculated between the Cyprus populations and European samples of C. russula and C. leucodon: 0.445 and 0.325, respectively. The genetic distance with C. suaveolens is only 0.162, a value which has been observed between some other species of Soricidae. The designation C. cypria Bate, 1903 should probably be kept for the Crocidura from Cyprus, pending for cytological and biochemical investigations in other populations of shrews from the Middle East.1 aCatzeflis, F. uhttps://icgf.myspecies.info/content/analyse-cytologique-et-biochimique-des-crocidures-de-lile-de-chypre-mammalia-insectivora
