“…This result is similar to that described for this species (Yonenaga et al, 1976). Oligoryzomys nigripes normally presents variation in their number of autosome arms (NA) due to pericentric inversions occurring in pairs 3, 4 and 8, showed in individuals from Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo and Rio Grande do Sul (Almeida and Yonenaga-Yassuda, 1991;Andrades-Miranda et al, 2001;Bonvicino and Weksler, 1998;Paresque et al, 2004;Yonenaga et al, 1976;Zanchin, 1988). The X and Y chromosomes can also be polymorphic (Almeida and Yonenaga-Yassuda, 1991;Andrades-Miranda et al, 2001Paresque et al, 2004).…”
