Calanus helgolandicus is a widespread epipelagic copepod species whose geographical range extends from the temperate Atlantic Ocean to the northern Mediterranean Sea. Calanus euxinus, recently designated as a distinct species though closely related to C. helgolandicus, occurs in the Black Sea. Very subtle morphological differences distinguish the two species. Pseudocalanus elongatus has a similar geographic range including North Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. In this study, population genetic variation of C helgolandicus, C euxinus and P. elongatus was investigated using DNA sequence variation of 540 base pair (Calanus spp.) and 575 base pair (P. elongatus) regions of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) gene. C helgolandicus was collected from the English Channel, the Adriatic Sea, and C euxinus was collected from various regions of the Black Sea. P. elongatus was collected from the English Channel and the Black Sea.

Phylogeography of Turkish Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) Based on mtDNA Sequences Çelikgil, Atila; Kükrer, Mert; Bilgin, Cemal Can (null; 2019-07-09) There are 26 recognized subspecies of honeybees throughout the world and 5 of them are distributed in Turkey. Due to the migratory beekeepers and queen trade practices in addition to other anthropogenic factors, population structure of these 5 subspecies are under threat and require further research followed by immediate establishment of conservation strategies. In this study, we aimed to determine the phylogeography and biodiversity of Turkish Honeybees. In order to assess genetic variability and populatio...
Dynamics and ecology of an Indo-Pacific conch, Conomurex persicus (Mollusca : Gastropoda) in southeastern Turkey Mutlu, Ethan; Ergev, Mehmet Betil (2006-03-01) Conomurex persicus, one of the tropical conchs, has been introduced to one of the subtropical regions, the northeastern Mediterranean Sea, and invaded sandy bottoms between I and 10 m deep. Population dynamics were studied from specimens collected with a standard dredge (60 x 15 cm mouth opening, 0.5 x 0.5 cm eye opening of net). Samples of C. persicus were collected monthly along the 5 and 10 m depth contours off Erdemli, Mersin, Turkey, in February and May 2000. Intra-annual density depended on salinity l...
Zooplankton community state in the Northeastern Marmara Sea during early autumn with comments onmass mortality of the Black Sea species due to thesalinity gradient Svetlichny, Leonid; Hubareva, Elena; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; İşinibilir Okyar, Melek; Shmeleva, Aleksandra (2006-01-01) In October 2005 species composition and abundance of mesozooplankton collected in the Black Sea (near the entrance of the Bosphorus) and in the Marmara Sea (near the exit of the Bosphorus and Prince Islands) were studied taking into account the number of live and dead individuals. Along the Bosphorus, the numbers of the Black Sea originated Copepoda species reduced whilst the abundance of Cladocera and Oikopleura dioica increased towards the Marmara. The Black Sea species constituting 78% of total fodder zo...
Molecular evolution and phylogeography of the eastern mediterranean water frog (pelophylax) complex Akın Pekşen, Çiğdem; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Plötner, Jörg; Department of Biology (2015) Water frogs (genus Pelophylax) in the eastern Mediterranean region represent a genetically and phylogenetically diverse group. Their dependence on freshwater habitats makes them highly sensitive to geological and climatic changes. Thus they are an ideal group to study the effect of past geological processes on molecular evolution of protein-coding and non-coding genes on the genome and on patterns of phylogeography in the eastern Mediterranean region. In the first study, the complete sequence of water frog ...
Systematics of West African Miniopterus with the description of a new species Monadjem, Ara; Shapiro, Julie T.; Richards, Leigh R.; Karabulut, Hatice; Crawley, Wing; Nielsen, Ida Broman; Hansen, Anders; Bohmann, Kristine; Mourier, Tobias (2019-12-01) The phylogenetic relationships and species limits within the chiropteran family Miniopteridae are poorly known in mainland Africa. Recent systematic studies in Madagascar have shown that this is a species-rich family, yet only eight species are currently recognized or hypothesized for continental Africa. Based on partial cytochrome b sequences and morphometric analysis, we describe a new species of Miniopterus that is endemic to a restricted, montane region of Liberia and Guinea. Furthermore, the taxonomic ...
