Geographic variation in the swimming ability of Spalax ehrenbergi ( Rodentia: Spalacidae) in Israel.

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Significant differences in swimming time were found between chromosomal forms; individuals from populations of the drier southern regions (2n=60; mean 14s) did not perform as well as those from northern populations (2n=52 and 2n=54; mean 35s each), with an intermediate performance by individuals of the geographically intermediate chromosomal form (2n=58; mean 25s). Differential swimming ability of individuals among the chromosomal forms may be associated with the extent and level of flooding and free-standing water. -from Authors
