Abstract (EN)

In this study, a total 26 skulls of two different chromosomal forms ofNannospalax ehrenbergi (Nehring 1898) 15 samples belong to 2n=52chromosomal forms (Mardin population) and 11 samples belong to 2n=56chromosomal forms (Siirt-Batman population) were analyzed using by geometricmorphometrics to evaluate the taxonomically.According to the results of Relative Warp Analysis (RW), PrincipalComponent Analysis (PCA) and Canonical Variance Analysis (CVA),populations of 2n=52 (Mardin) and 2n=56 (Siirt-Batman) were different fromeach other by geometric morphometrics. According to the CVA, female and malepopulations? skulls of 2n=56 (Siirt-Batman) showed that sexual dimorphism.Skulls of specimens are deposited at the Biology Department, ScienceFaculty, Dicle University, Turkey.Keywords: Rodentia, Spalacidae, Nannospalax ehrenbergi, Geometricmorphometrics, Turkey.
