Notable homologous variation in chromosomal races of the common shrew.

This paper is a review of the rare phenomenon of chromosome intraspecies variation manifested in monobrachial homology series in the comprehensively investigated karyotype of the common shrew Linnaeus, 1758 (Eulipotyphla, Mammalia). The detailed dataset on the account of this mammalian species was drawn from the recently published monograph by Searle et al. (2019) "Shrews, Chromosomes and Speciation". The parallels to the law of homologous series in variation by Nikolai Vavilov are discussed.
