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...
A Survey of Niche Overlap and Adaptive Trait Responses of Turkish Honeybee Subspecies to Climate Kükrer, Mert; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Turak, Ayşe (2016-11-05) Introduction: Over 24 subspecies or “geographic races” of honeybees in the world appear to have diversified following isolation during the Pleistocene glaciations. Research on their differences in morphology, biogeography, behavior and genetics suggest that Turkish races belong mostly to the same lineage, but evolved in extremely different habitats. Foraging strategies, honey storage, production of young, overwintering success, swarming behavior or aggression show differences between races. Such traits migh...
Honey Bee Diversity Is Swayed by Migratory Beekeeping and Trade Despite Conservation Practices: Genetic Evidence for the Impact of Anthropogenic Factors on Population Structure Kükrer, Mert; Kence, Aykut (2021-04-15) The intense admixture of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) populations at a global scale is mostly attributed to the widespread migratory beekeeping practices and replacement of queens and colonies with non-native races or hybrids of different subspecies. These practices are also common in Anatolia and Thrace, but their influence on the genetic make-up of the five native subspecies of honey bees has not been explored. Here, we present an analysis of 30 microsatellite markers from honey bees from six different r...
Genetic evidences for the impact of anthropogenic factors on honey bee diversity Kükrer, Mert; Kence, Meral; Kence, Aykut (2017-06-01) Intense admixture of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) populations is mostly attributed to migratory beekeeping practices and replacement of queens and colonies with non-native races or hybrids of different subspecies. These two practices are also heavily carried out in Anatolia and Thrace where 5 subspecies reside naturally. Here, we carried out an analysis of population structure of honey bees sampled from six different regions (n = 250) in order to test the genetic impacts of migratory beekeeping, queen and...
Assessment of genetic diversity in picea orientalis (l.) link. in genetic resources by microsatellites Özdilek, Aslı; Kaya, Zeki; Temel, Fatih; Department of Biology (2015) Picea comprises about 40 species in the world. One of these species, oriental spruce (Picea orientalis (L.) Link.) is naturally distributed in northeastern Turkey, mostly in Artvin Province and in a part of Georgia close to the coast of the Black Sea region. The limited distribution of species and increased anthropogenic threats to its genetic resources signify the importance of studying genetic diversity of the species to have better conservation and management programs. Here, we report the first high thro...
