  • Descrição: The five morphologically sibling gerbil species of the genus Taterillus in West Africa were first identified from karyotypes. These species possess an XX/XY1Y2 sex-chromosome system and are characterized by significant karyotypic reorganization, thus making them a suitable model for studying the role of chromosomal rearrangements in the speciation process. We present here a description of two new cytotypes, Taterillus sp. 1 and Taterillus sp. 2, from the Lake Chad area, the former having a 2n = 22/23, NFa = 40, and the latter 2n = 24/25, NFa = 44. Comparison of their G- and C- banding patterns with those of T. pygargus (2n = 22/23, NFa = 38/40), examined in an earlier paper, revealed that all three species differ from each other by 7 to 11 chromosomal rearrangements, comprising tandem translocations, pericentric inversions, and Robertsonian metacentrics displaying monobrachial homology. Meiotic configurations formed in potential hybrids among any of these three forms would consist of complex rings and chains, alone or in combination, resulting, as expected, in a significant disruption of gametogenesis. These results provide support for assigning Taterillus sp. 1 and Taterillus sp. 2 to two different biological species, which, as demonstrated by our preliminary molecular studies, would have emerged recently. Possible factors responsible for the rapid karyotypic evolution and speciation in this West African gerbil complex are discussed.
