Genetic diversity is retained in a bottlenecked Cinereous Vulture population in Turkey Çakmak, Emel; Akin Pekşen, Çİğdem; Kİrazli, Cİhangİr; Yamaç, Elİf; Bensch, Staffan; Bilgin, Cemal Can (Wiley, 2019-10-01) Vulture populations worldwide have suffered precipitous declines in recent decades. The Cinereous Vulture Aegypius monachus, a highly philopatric scavenger distributed across southern Europe and the central Asian plateau, is threatened in many parts of its range. Turkey holds the second largest population of this species in the Western Palaearctic, but there has been no research on its genetic structure and the possible implications of this structure for the future of the species. Here we report nuclear div...
Genetic structure and phylogenetic relations of cinereous vulture (aegypius monachus) populations in Turkey Çakmak, Emel; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Department of Biology (2018) Throughout the world, vulture populations have suffered threatening declines in numbers in recent years. The Cinereous Vulture (Aegypius monachus) is a highly philopatric scavenger that ranges across southern Europe and the central Asian plateau. Turkey holds the second most numerous population in the Western Palearctic but there has been no research on the genetic structure of this particular population. In the present study, we describe the current genetic status of the Turkish population using both mitoc...
Genetic diversity of european black poplar (populus nigra) populations from Turkey assessed by microsatellite DNA markers Çiftçi, Asiye; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2013) The genus Populus is known as a group of forest trees for commercial exploitation. The European black poplar (Populus nigra L.), belonging to the genus Populus, is a keystone species of floodplain forests in Europe. Populus nigra has also been used as a model tree in the study of genetic resource conservation of wild relatives of cultivated plants. Turkey has over 68.000 ha poplar plantations with P. nigra and 77. 000 ha consisting of various hybrids of it. Due to overexplotation, loss of natural distributi...
Genetic diversity pattern in Populus Nigra populations of two major river systems in Turkey Çiftçi, Asiy; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2019) European black poplar (Populus nigra L.) is an important tree species in terms of social, economic and ecological interest in Turkey. Although, poplar plantations in large areas meet the needs of the economy, the natural genetic resources of the species have been highly degraded due to anthropogenic effects and natural biological events. To assess genetic diversity structure of natural populations, 124 naturally distributed European black poplar trees from two major rivers (Kızılırmak and Göksu) in Turkey w...
Genetic structure – geography relations of honeybee subspecies in Turkey: a survey and a test of niche overlap Kükrer, Mert; Turak, Ayşe; Bilgin, Cemal Can (null; 2019-08-01) Subspecies or “geographic races” of honeybees (Apis mellifera) differ in morphology, biogeography and behavior and appear to have diversified following reproductive isolation during the Pleistocene glaciation. Habitat-specific features such as daily temperature, abundance and phenology of nectar flow, length and severity of winter, or predator pressure are expected to influence morphology, foraging strategy, honey storage, production of young, overwintering success, swarming behavior or aggression in differ...
