Abstract
Differential staining (G- and C-banding) is used to assess magnitude of chromosomal variation in eight species of African megachiropterans. These data are compared with those suggested by standard karyotypic studies, and it is concluded that in this example standard methods underestimate chromosomal variation by a factor greater than 4.5. The implication of these data is that models constructed from patterns of chromosomal evolution in standard karyotypes need to be evaluated in light of in-depth studies based on G- and C-bands.
