The redpoll finch complex (Ayes: Carduelinae: Carduelis flammea-hornemanni) provides an opportunity to examine the relationship between
polytypism, gene flow, and phylogeographic structuring of genetic variation.
Graomys griseoflavus is another example where Rb translocations generate chromosomal polymorphism and
polytypism. This distribution pattern of Rb variability was also observed in the phyllotine Eligmodontia puerulus, the oryzomyine Holochilus brasiliensis and the murine Mus musculus domesticus (Nachman, 1992; Pialek et al., 2005; Lanzone et al., 2011).

Polytypism describes the sequence of types I and II within the mica structure.
The remainder of this chapter describes numerous examples of chromosomal
polytypism in several groups of rodents (Acomys, Gerbillus, Peromyscus, Proechimys, Rattus, Spalax, and Thomomys), bats (Rhogeesa), shrews (Sorex), and lizards (Gehyra, Phyllodactylus, and Sceloporus).
The discovery of
polytypism, first in the kaolinite minerals (Hendricks, 1939) and later in micas (Heinrich and Levinson, 1955), and the following refinement of crystal structures in all groups of phyllosilicates and their polytypes was a result of a cooperation among physicists, crystallographers, chemists and mineralogists in later decades (see literature compiled by Konta, 2000).
The knowledge of the mineralogical and chemical composition of natural pyrophyllite material, and several observations recently made on the ground material (X-ray characteristics, surface area and dehydroxylation temperatures) have now made it easier to approach the structural alteration with a new look from a point of view of
polytypism. In natural samples of clay minerals of the talc-pyrophyllite group one finds significant structure disorder (Wiewiora et al., 1993; Wiewiora and Hida, 1996).
