Aknowledgements
We wish to thank Ethoikos (Siena, Italy) and
the Regional Natural Reserve of Lungo and
Ripasottile Lakes (Rieti, Italy) for allowing
and supporting the study; M. Gattabria (Rome
Municipal Zoological Museum) for giving
some tissue samples of weasels; C.M. King,
P. Ciucci and L. Boitani for providing invaluable
advices.
