Interesting small mammal diversity is currently being uncovered in Nigeria, much of it through molecular analyses. The cytogenetic aspects of this diversity, however, remain largely unknown. In this study, diploid number and chromosome morphology viewed on Giemsa-stained slides for seven small mamma...
