Constitutive heterochromatin in the Bovidae, as revealed by C-banding, was mostly located in the centromeric regions. Considerable variation was, however, evident in the size of the C-bands both within and between subfamilies. Some evidence was found for a reduction in the amount of centromeric heterochromatin in bi-armed relative to acrocentric autosomes, and these findings are discussed in relation to karyotype evolution in the group.
