[Mice of southern France: genetic characterization of two groups of sympatric populations].
An electrophoretic survey of five proteins (lactate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, esterase-1, esterase-2, albumin) shows that there are two groups of populations strongly (or completely) reproductively isolated. The first group does not differ from Mus musculus L. The second exhibits several new biochemical traits and should probably be considered a different species.
