A number of geographically defined Robertsonian (Kb) populations of the wild house mouse Mus musculus domesticus Schwarz and Schwarz, 1943 occurs in several areas of Europe {including Greece) and northern Africa. A multivariate analysis of 26 morphometric characters studied in 6 populations from Greece was performed to detect possible morphological variability in populations having different chromosome number. A morphological polymorphism among alt the studied populations was found but this is attributed rather to geographical than to karyotypic relations.
The parasite fauna (protozoa, helminths and insects) of the two most widespread Murinae rodents in El Hierro (Canary Islands, Spain), the black rat (Rattus rattus) and the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) was studied. Faunistic, ecological, ecotoxicological data, as well as information on the biology of some nematode parasites of R. rattus are provided. The present work is unprecedented in the Canary Islands, and provides the first data on the parasite biodiversity in Murinae from the archipelago. Concerning to parasitofaunas stands out: a) impoverishment of biodiversity of helminths respect of which have the same hosts in other islands; b) increasing the number of species of Siphonaptera, even compared with flea species that parasitize the same hosts from continental biotopes.
House mice Mus musculus domesticus (Schwartz and Schwartz, 1943) from Orkney are closely related on the basis of mandible morphology and allozyme variation. In three of the twenty islands where house mice occur populations have diverged from the standard 2n = 40 karyotype through fixation of Robertsonian (Rb) chromosomal mutations. Mice from Westray island carry 36 chromosomes and share one Rb fusion with those from Eday and Faray (2n = 34; 2n = 34-36). These islands are geo­graphically very close to each other and to islands carrying standard mice. Behavioural and ecophysiological analyses were performed on the three chromosomally divergent populations of mice as well as on two nearby standard populations (Sanday and Papa-Westray). The aim of the study was to assess -whether divergences attributable to chromosomal changes occur, and to discuss whether behavioural divergences may explain the non-mixing of karyotypes. The study does not reveal any divergence between islands attributable to karyotype or habitat differences. The non-blending of the different karyotypes present in Orkney is discussed with reference to history of colonisation, human behaviour, and the consequences of site saturation. Particular characteristics displayed by the different island-populations suggest that in the near future the present pattern of karyotype variation observed in Orkney could change.
