PDF | The ecological flexibility of the garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus) enables it to live from the sea level in the Mediterranean area up to m a.s.l. . Eliomys quercinus is found throughout Europe to Asia to North Africa. It is also found in Finland. Garden dormice were introduced into Britian by the Romans in .

In birds, naked and helpless after hatching. Adaptation, Diversity, and Ecology. The chromosomal diversity of the genus Eliomys is unusually high compared to other Gliridae, for which the number of chromosomes qkercinus almost fixed in each species for a review of the literature, see Table 1.

Eliomys quercinus Linnaeus The black stripe goes from the nose to behind the ear. In dunes near seas and oceans this is compounded by the influence of salt in the air and soil.
The garden dormouse can be recognized by black eye markings, relatively large ears, short hair, and a white tassel at the end of the tail. The short, curved claws and cushion-like covering of each foot makes this species, like other dormice, an adept climber 3and its relatively large ears and eyes hint at its well-developed quercunus of hearing and ability to vocalise 3. A litter consists of two to eight offspring, which are born after a gestation period of 22 to 28 days.
Karyotypic relationships of the garden dormouse Eliomys quercinus from central Europe. Clades and querrcinus are indicated following the results obtained for the phylogenetic analyses. These evolutionarily significant units can be largely identified by their karyotype or by their mitochondrial sequence, but not by morphological traits, which may reflect local adaptations of populations Filippucci et al.
The species is also present in northern Germany, but that population is apparently not capable of quercjnus reproduction. Palearctic living in the northern part of the Old World. Blind and naked at birth, they open their eyes quercinks about 18 days, and are nursed until they are one month old.

Thus, this colonization was the result of passive or active transportation by humans Dobson ; Ramalhinho and Libois These results are consistent with the more ancient origin of lineages of E.
Bitume and 3 referees for comments on an earlier version of the manuscript. Nowak, Biogeographic Regions palearctic introduced native oriental native ethiopian native Habitat Eliomys quercinus lives in steepe deserts, hollow qurecinus, rock crevices, and human dwellings.
There was no clear phylogenetic relationship among the 4 E. Filippucci for providing additional samples. Ramalhinho— Filippucci et al. Email alerts New issue alert. Other species used these glacial refuges from 3.
Finally, there was low support in the Alpine clade for a segregation between haplotypes that roughly coincided with the geographical barrier formed by the Alps, with one group including all Italian Alps populations BT The phylogeographic pattern is in agreement with paleontological data and indicates an expansion of the distributional range of the species from glacial refuge zones, including the Iberian Peninsula and southern France, the Italian peninsula, and additional, unexpected refuges possibly located in the north western part of the Alps, and at the foot of the Alps.
The coat is gray or brown, with a white underside.

Asian garden dormouse Eliomys melanurus. Populations of garden dormice in eastern Europe have declined significantly over the last 30 years, and may now inhabit less than 50 percent of its former range 4. It is also found in Finland. These findings suggest that hybrids between chromosomal races may be viable and that the karyotypic differentiation does not correlate necessarily with reproductive isolation nor with genetic differentiation observed with other molecular markers e.
Eliomys quercinus (Linnaeus, ) – Lérot – Overview
It appears that chromosomal divergence in E. Our aims were to assess the level of congruence between the previously identified chromosomal races and the identified Cytb mitochondrial lineages; improve our understanding of the taxonomic relationships between garden dormouse populations based on both chromosomal and mitochondrial information; and establish the phylogeographic history of the species including the existence and the localization of former refuge regions during the Quaternary ice ages, the routes of colonization of some Mediterranean islands, and the time of differentiation of mitochondrial lineages of E.
Examination of these data suggests that chromosomal hybrids can persist in nature and may thus not suffer large fitness reduction. There are black markings on the face of garden dormice. Phylogeographical and population genetic structures. The 4 sequences of E.
