Abstract

LEDESMA, Mario A. et al. Cytogenetic analysis of Panthera onca (Felidae: Pantherinae) from Misiones province, Argentina. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2004, vol.11, n.1, pp.85-90. ISSN 0327-9383.

The objective of the present work was to establish the chromosomal number and the patterns of G and NOR of captive jaguar specimens from Misiones province. Cytogenetic analysis showed that diploid chromosome number of these specimens was 38, distributed in 6 autosomal groups (A, B, C, D, and, F) and the sex pair, showing a great similarity with the other species of this group previously analyzed in this family, when patterns of G bands as well as the location of the NOR where compared.
