Abstract
The species status in samples of wood mice of the genus Apodemus, orig inating from several localities in Asia Minor, was determined using al lozyme markers. Chromosome constitution was examined in every species and absence of the B chromosomes was observed in A. flavicollis and th e other species under study. This finding may indicate genetic diverge nce between populations of A. flavicollis from Europe and Asia Minor, respectively.
