The result showed that they belong to the following cytotypes of Nannospalax ehrenbergi: Duhok-Bardarash Population 2n = 52, NF = 76, and NFa = 72 and Arbil-Sulaimania-Kirkuk populations 2n = 52, NF = 80 and NFa = 76. The karyotypes of the Duhok population are similar to those from Mosul, but the Arbil-Sulaimania-Kirkuk populations' karyotype represents a new chromosomal form. Their distribution extends from North Iraq to Sulaimania.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessRodentiaSpalacidaeNannospalax EhrenbergiKaryologyIraqArticle7247983WOS:0005167798000082-s2.0-8507987050810.13128/caryologia-318Q3Q4
