Western Siberia rivers and the boundaries between chromosomal races of the common shrew (Sorex araneus L. Lipotyphla, Mammalia)

Resumo

In Western Siberia, most boundaries between common shrew chromosomal races have been found to pass along the banks of rivers, mainly those flowing in the meridional direction. The races Serov and Novosibirsk co-inhabited the right bank of the Irtysh. The easternmost point of the Novosibirsk race has been found on the middle Yenisei River, while the race Tomsk in this area was only on the right (eastern) bank.
