Abstract

The karyotypes of 4 spp. of the genus Meriones (Rodentia, Gerbillidae): M. tristrami, M. crassus, M. libycus and M. persicus are compared. About 20 chromosomal rearrangements separate these species into 2 groups. Robertsonian evolution, associated with inversions and fissions, apparently have occurred.
