Annotation	This paper investigates chromosomal variation in a well-known animal group - the mammals. Chromosome research in this animal group has had a long-term tradition in the Balkan Peninsula, and has contributed significantly to our understanding of its regional biodiversity. Most studies have examined chromosomes of small mammal species, within the orders of insectivores, chiropterans, rodents and carnivores, whose size does not usually exceed that of the hedgehog or common hamster. This contribution attempts to summarise our current knowledge of the karyotypes of Balkan mammals, and to show the importance of chromosomal data in systematic and phylogeographic research.
