The new highest number of B chromosomes (Bs) in Leisler's bat Nyctalusleisleri (Kuhl, 1817)
2022
Overview
B chromosomes (Bs) are supernumerary to the standard chromosome set, from which they prevalently derive. Variation in numbers both among individuals or populations and among cells within individuals is their constant feature. Leisler's bat
(Kuhl, 1817) is one of only four species of Chiroptera with detected Bs. Four males of
were collected from two localities on the territory of Serbia and cytogenetically analysed. All animals had Bs with interindividual variability ranging from two to five heterochromatic micro Bs. The highest number of Bs was detected in this species. Among mammals, Rodentia and Chiroptera are orders with the largest number of species, but Bs frequently appear in rodents and rarely in chiropterans. Possible explanations for this difference are offered.
