Abstract
SUMMARY: Breeding tests of wild house mice, trapped from an isolated population from Sanday in the Orkney Islands, have demonstrated the presence of a semilethal t-haplotype designated tw106. Microscopic examination of sperm and testes from a sterile male obtained from this population revealed the histological characteristics typical for homozygotes for semilethal t-haplotypes. This report is the first description of the recovery of a t-haplotype from an island population of wild mice.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
