Karyotype condensation in muntjacs
Diploid chromosome sets of two species of
muntjacs, small southeast Asian relatives of deer (Moschidae:
Artiodactyla:
Mammalia) (A) Muntiacus reevesi (2n=46) and (B) Muntiacus
muntiacus
(2n=8). Despite differences in chromosome numbers, the species are
phenotypically
very similar.
