Glis glisLinnaeus, 1766

Accepted name, Mammal Species of the World 2005

The significance of geographical variation within G. glis, in the context of subspecific or specific level differentiation among populations, has not been investigated throughout its range. Comprehensive review of G. glis, including illustrations of live animal, distributional, morphological, ecological, behavioral and other characteristics, contributed by Rossolimo et al. (2001). Biometry and taxonomy of Asiago Plateau population by Franco (1988); morphometric study of Bulgarian populations by Peshev and Delov (1995b); variability of non-metric characters of Bulgarian populations analyzed by Markov (2001a); morphometric and chromosomal study of Turkish populations by Do—ramaci and Tez (1991); diagnosis and distribution of subspecies in SE Europe by Ondrias (1966). Comparison of dental pattern with fossil Glis from Poland given by Daoud (1993). Review of chromosomal studies produced by Zima et al. (1995); additional karyotypic data from Bulgaria ...
