Karyological and some morphological characteristics of the Egyptian mongoose, Herpestes ichneumon (Mammalia: Carnivora), along with current distribution range in Turkey
Öz: The Egyptian mongoose is the only member of the family Herpestidae in Turkey. Te species is distributed mainly in Africa,and Turkey constitutes the northernmost distribution margin of the species. Tus far, a natural specimen s karyotype from an area witha known locality for H. ichneumon has not been studied. Te karyotype of a male specimen from Hatay was determined to be 2n = 43,NF = 71, NFa = 66. Te X1 and X2 chromosomes were middle-sized metacentric, and the Y chromosome was middle-sized telocentric.Te external and skull measurements of the Adana-Yumurtalık and Hatay specimens are given here in a table. Te Egyptian mongoosewas distributed in the Mediterranean and Aegean regions before the 1970s. However, during the last 30 years, the distribution of H.ichneumon has been recorded only in the Hatay region, mostly because of the lack of detailed distribution studies. We recorded thespecies from Hatay, Osmaniye, Adana, and Mersin, in the area between Hatay and Silife. Te species seems to be limited in areas belowan altitude of 450 m in the Mersin, Adana, and Hatay regions. H. ichneumon is distributed mostly in reed, bush, and scrub areas, as wellas in agricultural lands with residential areas. Because of the large distributional decrease of the species, it is necessary to develop theirpopulations by rescuing H. ichneumon from the risks mentioned below by starting a tracking program immediately.
