In order to assess the relationship between the oppiid mite species (Acari, Oribatida) collected from Turkey, traditional and geometric morphometric methods were used. We have taken photographs of 128 specimens belonging to 11 species from six subfamilies of Oppiidae. These photographs were digitized and 17 interval measurements were taken for traditional morphometric analysis, and 20 landmarks were recognized on the ventral surface of each specimen for geometric morphometric analysis. The effectiveness to separate taxa was compared between the two morphometric analyses. In both dendrograms Oppia nitens formed a single cluster, Oxyoppia ilicaensis was singled out from the remaining nine species, which were clustered together. Two species, Lauroppia fallax and Rhinoppia obsoleta, clustered together implying a very close relationship

Morphometric, mtdna and microsatellite analysis in honeybee populations (apis mellifera L.) of north and northwest İran Farhoud, Houman Jabbari; Kence, Meral; Department of Biotechnology (2004) Morphometric measurements, mitochondrial DNA analyses and 5 microsatellite loci were used to investigate variation in the honeybee populations of Iran and comparing it with the Turkish populations. Five honeybee populations were sampled from North and west north of Iran. In morphometric aspect of the study 23 characters were measured from left forewings and hindlegs of honey bee samples. The data were analysed by multivariate statistical analyses. By using mtDNA analyses length polymorphism of the intergeni...
Genetic relationships among perennial and annual Cicer species growing in Turkey assessed by AFLP fingerprinting Sudupak, MA; Akkaya, Mahinur; Kence, A (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-03-01) AFLP markers were used to assess genetic relationships among Cicer species with distribution in Turkey. Genetic distances were computed among 47 Cicer accessions representing four perennial and six annual species including chickpea, using 306 positions on AFLP gels. AFLP-based grouping of species revealed two clusters, one of which includes three perennial species, Cicer montbretii, Cicer isauricum and Cicer anatolicum, while the other cluster consists of two subclusters, one including one perennial, Cicer ...
Classification of Turkish Iris L.(Iridaceae) by phenetic methods Usta, Erdoğan; Kence, Aykut; Department of Biology (2002) In this study the present taxonomy of Turkish Iris L. were revised by using phenetic clustering method based on external vegetative and floral morphological characters of herbarium and fresh specimens. For this, 79 morphological characters for each taxon within the genus Iris L. were extracted and the data were analyzed by the NTSYSpc 2. 1 computer package by UPGMA method. In addition to this, cytological and biogeographical data of the taxa were also integrated into the new classification. The results of t...
Morphometric and electrophoretic variation in different honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) populations Kandemir, I; Kence, M; Kence, Aykut (2005-01-01) Honeybee colonies from Turkey, Naxcivan (Azerbajan) and Austria were studied for morphometric and electrophoretic variation and for comparison among different subspecies. Out of six enzyme systems, four were found to be polymorphic with 14 allozymes. Discriminant function analysis of 10 morphometric variables resulted in a total of four groups. Cluster analysis of electrophoretic data showed a similar type of groupings. Among the four polymorphic loci, Mdh-1 showed the highest and Est-3 the lowest different...
A Micromorphological study of Lathyrus l. (Leguminosae) species in Turkey Mazaheri, Rodin; Doğan, Musa; Department of Biology (2016) This research study was carried out to determine the taxonomic value of micromorphological properties in the infrageneric delimitation of Lathyrus species found in Turkey. In the present study, first micromorphological characters of the leaf surface of 15 species (sect. Lathyrostylis) were analyzed by Light Microscope. Multivariate statistical approaches (for instance, Principal Component Analyses (PCA) and Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA)) were used to evaluate the results. Among t...
