We report the first karyological description of a southeast Asian mole, the Malaysian mole (<i>Euroscaptor micrura malayana</i>). The karyotype of the Malaysian mole includes 36 chromosomes, which consist of 18 biarmed and 16 acrocentric autosomes and the sex pair. The sex chromosomes are a small meta-submetacentric X chromosome and a minute dot-like Y chromosome, although the latter is somewhat larger than that of some talpid allies. Autosomal complements include one pair of NOR-bearing chromosomes. A comparative G-banding analysis with the Japanese congener <i>E. mizura</i> showed that these two species share high G-banding homology, and their differences on two pairs of chromosomes are explained by a single reciprocal translocation. The karyological similarity of these distant geographic species is discussed in a systematic and evolutionary context, based on comparisons to other species distributed between them.<br>

We sequenced the cytochrome b gene from two little-studied mammal species from the highlands of Southwest China, the long-tailed mole Scaptonyx fusicaudus and the gracile shrew-like mole Uropsilus gracilis. This data was used to examine the phylogenetic relationships among 19 talpid species within the family Talpidae (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla). Cytochrome b gene trees supported a basal placement of shrew-like moles (Uropsilus) within the Talpidae, and suggested that fossorial specializations arose twice during talpid evolution. To assess the evolutionary relationships of moles endemic to this region, we additionally sequenced the 12S rRNA gene and the nuclear recombination-activating gene-1 from eight and ten East Asian taxa, respectively. Analyses of these single and concatenated data sets suggested that East Asian shrew moles diverged prior to the evolution of fossorial Eurasian moles. However, we were unable to determine whether semi-fossorial shrew moles are monophyletic. In contrast, fossorial Eurasian genera (Talpa, Mogera and Euroscaptor) were consistently found to form a monophyletic clade, with Mogera and Euroscaptor representing sister taxa. Furthermore, this fossorial clade grouped with the semi-aquatic Desmana, although with fairly low (35-62%) bootstrap support. Mogera imaizumii was found to be more closely related to M. wogura than to M. tokudae. This implies that the ancestors of these three species entered Japan from the Asian continent in this order via a series of migration events, suggesting that the Japanese Islands have played an important role in preserving mole lineages from ancient to recent times.

半島マレーシア産のモグラはEuroscaptor属の遠隔地個体群として1940年に記載された.原記載以来,本地域個体群はヒマラヤやタイ国に生息する種の亜種とされるのが一般的で,独立種としての扱いはなされていない.近年発表された形態,核型,分子系統の成果は,半島マレーシア産のモグラが明らかにEuroscaptor属の他種とは異なることを示唆している.本研究では,半島マレーシア産のモグラに関する詳細な形態的記載を行った.半島マレーシアにおいてモグラの主な生息地とされる茶畑の由来に関しても考察を加え,本地域個体群がEuroscaptor属の他種とは明確に異なる形態的特徴を持つ,固有種として位置づけられることを示した.

Peculiar nuclear inclusions, "nucleoloid bodies", were found in nuclei of several types of cells in mouse lymph nodes and in sheep hemal nodes. The nucleoloid bodies were morphologically independent of the nucleolus and the chromatin. They were spherical in shape, ranging from 200 to 900mμ in size, with outer and inner layers that could be differentiated. The outer layer consisted of numerous filaments arranged concentrically or spirally which encircle completely the inner layer. The filaments were helical coils, measuring 70〜80 Å in width. The diameter of the fibril coiled into the helix was approximately 20〜30 Å. The same helical fibrils were also found in the chromatins of nucleoplasm around the nucleoloid bodies. The inner layer was composed of a homogeneous substance of lower electron density and of a variable number of dense granules which were similar to ribosomes in appearance. At high magnification, however, the granules seemed to be twisted threads in which thinner fibrils were coiled. The threads were 200〜250 Å in width and the helical fibrils measured about 50 Å in diameter. The nucleoloid bodies were separated into two types. The first type was small, about 200〜300 mμ in size, and had no or a few dense granular elements in the inner layer. The second type was larger, over 400 mμ in size, whose inner layer had numerous granular elements. The nucleoloid bodies were most often observed in small lymphocytes, in particular the large bodies (second type) were almost limited to the small lymphocytes, though rarely in plasma cells as well. Even if nucleoloid bodies were found in cells other than small lymphocytes, it was rare finding and usually involved the small bodies (first type) only. The nucleoloid bodies seemed to derive from the true nucleoli and were observed in the chromosomes throughout mitosis. From the ultrastructure of the nucleoloid bodies, it was suggested that the bodies consist of a specialized nuclear protein unlike the chromosomes.
