In the present study, haplogroup composition of five native Turkish sheep breeds, (Karayaka, Akkaraman, Gökçeada, Dağlıç, Morkaraman) and two sheep breeds from neighboring countries (Herik from Iran, samples from Azerbaijan) were determined by single strand length polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4) region and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of mtDNA control (CR) region. Results of the SSCP and RFLP approaches were found to be 96,82% consistent. Most of the 3,18% inconsistency was due to unidentified band patterns of 9 individuals. SSCP method could identify haplogroups A, B and C, but not D and E. Similarly RFLP method could identify haplogroup A, B and possibly D, but not E and C. Data of the present study were compared with those of the previous studies to test the robustness of results under different samplings and were found to be homogenous with a previous study with similar sampling strategy. Neighbor joining tree, principal component analysis (PCA), Delaunay network analysis and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) were employed to analyze the haplogroup frequencies and breeds were separated in four groups according to the genetic barriers between breeds from different geographical locations. Strongest differentiation was present between two groups which were eastern breeds (Morkaraman, Herik-Iran and Azerbaijan) and western breeds (Gökçeada, Akkaraman, Karayaka and Dağlıç). Additionally, Azerbaijan was proposed as the entrance point of the haplogroup A and the Iran was proposed as the entrance point of haplogroup C to Anatolia with the Spearman rank correlation test.

Characterization of taxonomically related some Turkish oak (quercus l.) species in an isolated stand : a morphometric analysis approach Aktaş, Caner; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2010) The genus Quercus L. is represented with more than 400 species in the world and 18 of these species are found naturally in Turkey. Although its taxonomical, phytogeographical and dendrological importance, the genus Quercus is still taxonomically one of the most problematical woody genus in Turkish flora. In this study, multivariate morphometric approach was used to analyze oak specimens collected from an isolated forest (Beynam Forest, Ankara) where Quercus pubescens Willd., Q. infectoria Olivier subsp. boi...
Genetic structure analysis of honeybee populations based on microsatellites Bodur, Çağrı; Kence, Aykut; Department of Biology (2005) We analyzed the genetic structures of 11 honeybee (Apis mellifera) populations from Türkiye and one population from Cyprus using 9 microsatellite loci. Average gene diversity levels were found to change between 0,542 and 0,681. Heterozygosity levels, mean number of alleles per population, presence of diagnostic alleles and pairwise FST values confirmed the mitochondrial DNA finding that Anatolian honeybees belong to north Mediterranean (C) lineage. We detected a very high level of genetic divergence among p...
Determination of polymorphism of pgm, hk, pgi, and g6pd in different developmental stages of honey bee (apis mellifera l.) and its relation with pgm activity and glycogen content Yeni, Filiz; Kence, Meral; Department of Biology (2010) In this study, three subspecies of Apis mellifera L. (A. m. caucasica, A. m. carnica, and A. m. syriaca) from different climatic regions were evaluated electrophoretically at ontogenetic level by means of four enzymes, namely Phosphoglucomutase (PGM), Hexokinase (HK), Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) and Glukose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). It is determined that only Pgm and Hk loci were polymorphic. Allele and genotype frequencies at Pgm locus changes seasonally whereas Hk locus does not exhibit seasona...
Revision of the genus salvia l. (labiatae) in the mediterranean and the aegean geographic regions of Turkey Celep, Ferhat; Doğan, Musa; Department of Biology (2010) A revision of the Mediterranean and the Aegean geographic regions of Turkey of Salvia L. (Labiatae) is presented. According to the results, the study area has 60 taxa, 32 of which are endemic (mainly local endemics), 5 of which are non-endemic rare, and the remaining 23 taxa are widely distributed. The rate of endemism is 53% in the area. At the beginning of the thesis, history and worldwide distribution of the family and the genus are briefly given. Phylogenetic studies and infrageneric grouping of the gen...
Evaluation of the adaptation process of a reintroduced anatolian mouflon (ovis gmelinii anatolica) population through studying its demography and spatial ecology Özüt, Deniz; Kence, Aykut; Department of Biology (2010) In this thesis the demography, home range and habitat selection of a reintroduced population of Anatolian mouflon (Ovis gmelinii anatolica), which had a single remaining population, was studied to evaluate the reintroduction success and determine the conservation management interventions. For this purpose among 104 individuals reintroduced in Sarıyar Wildlife Protection Area (Ankara, Turkey), 40 adults were radio-collared and 28 juvenile were ear-tagged and monitored from 2005 to 2009. The survival of the p...
