Contributions to the biology of wolves (Mammalia: Carnivora) in Turkey

Abstract

In this study, hair scale structure along with globulin and albumin proteins determined using SDS-PAGE, of Canis lupus from Iğdır province
were examined. The structure of the hair scale was “flattened imbricate” and “irregular crenate coronal” at the base, shaft and tip. In both specimens,
6 bands were observed in the globulin region, 1 band in the postalbumin zone, 1 band in the albumin region and 4 bands in the prealbumin zone.
No individual variation is found in the blood serum proteins examined.
