RT journal article T1 Chromosome relationships in the genus Blennius (Bienniidae Perciformes) C-banding patterns suggest two karyoevolutional pathways A1 García Suárez, Emilio Manuel A1 Thode, Guillermo A2 BiomedicinaBiotecnología y Salud Pública K1 Karyoevlutional pathways K1 chromosome relationships K1 C-bands K1 Blennius AB The karyotypes of the Mediterranean blenniid species: Blennius gattorugine, B. ponticus incognitus, B. pavo, B. sanguinolentus, B. galerfta, B. trigloides and B. pholis were analyzed by means of conventional, silver staining and C-banding techniques. All have shown 2n=48, except B. pholis with 2n=46, while the NF varies from 54 to 72. Only two NORs, in terminal position on the short arms of the carrier pair, were detected in all species. These regions have proved to be structurally polymorphic in four species. Two markedly different C-banding patterns lead us to separate the species into two different karyoevolutionarycategories, whose tax- onomic and specialization implications are discussed.
