Erinaceus europaeus europaeus (Western European hedgehog)

  • Chapter
An Atlas of Mammalian Chromosomes

Abstract

The karyotypes presented here are donated by Prof. A. Gropp, Pathologisches Institut der Universität Bonn, Bonn, Germany. The specimens were collected in the vicinity of Bonn. A total of 4 animals were analyzed. The karyotypes differ markedly from those of the Eastern European subspecies of hedgehog shown in Folio 53. The X chromosome has been identified by Professor Gropp with H3-thymidine autoradiography.
