There are nearly 3000 Ascidian species identified and they are all found in seas. However, the studies on tunicates on Turkish coasts are limited; thus, not much known about the ascidian fauna of Turkish Seas. In this study, presence of the Botrylloides anceps (Herdman, 1891) species along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey has been proven by application of DNA barcoding tool for the first time. Sampling was performed in coastal area of the Hatay-Konacık region on 26 September 2018. Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) and nuclear H3 genes were used for identification.Although B. anceps were observed in Israel, Australia, India, Brazil and Japan, only Israel and Australia provided gene sequences to the database. In the present study, one B. anceps (Israel) species haplotype data was obtained from the Genebank to compare with the present study sample. Phylogeographic resolution of these 2 haplotypes was investigated by using NETWORK software. Five mutation steps differences were observed between present study and previously studied (in Israel) B.anceps sample for COI gene and four for H3 gene. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Calibri; min-height: 14.0px} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Calibri} This study is a very first record in terms of using DNA barcoding tool on the B. anceps identification for the sample that was collected in Turkish Seas. It is being planned to do whole genome sequencing of the species as a next project.

Molecular phylogenetic position of Turkish abies (pinaceae) based on noncoding trn regions of chloroplast genome Özdemir Değirmenci, Funda; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2011) Abies is the second largest genus of family Pinaceae (after Pinus), consisting of about 51 species, all native to the Northern Hemisphere. There are six native taxa belonging to this genus growing in pure and mixed stands in Turkey. Abies cilicica subsp. isaurica, Abies nordmanniana subsp. bornmülleriana, Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani, Abies x olcayana are endemic and considered as lower risk (LR) species. To determine the genetic relationships in Turkish firs, 18 populations of different subspecie...
First record of a melanistic golden jackal (Canis aureus, Canidae) from Turkey Ambarlı, Huseyin; Bilgin, Cemal Can (2013-05-01) The golden jackal is a locally common mammal species widely distributed along the Black Sea and other coastal regions of Turkey. Between February 2009 and April 2010, we conducted a camera trap study in Artvin, northeastern Turkey that revealed the presence of ten medium or large mammal species. We report here the first ever photographic evidence of a melanistic golden jackal, along with its normal-colored probable mate. Dark fur color in wolves has been shown to be historically transferred from domestic do...
Discordance between ventral colour and mtDNA haplotype in the water frog Rana (ridibunda) caralitana, 1988 Arikan Akın, Cigdem; Bilgin, Metin; Bilgin, Cemal Can (Brill, 2010-01-01) The water frog form caralitana was first described as a subspecies of Rana ridibunda by Arikan (1988) from southwestern Turkey. Its orange ventral colour has been used as a diagnostic character since its description. After testing for a correlation between body size and ventral colour, we compared mtDNA and venter colour of adult specimens from 27 localities to assess the validity of this character for systematics of Anatolian water frogs. We mapped the distribution of each category and tested whether there...
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...
First record of Psylliostachys spicata (Plumbaginaceae), confirmation of Salvia pratensis (Lamiaceae) from Turkey, and taxonomic status of Salvia ertekinii CELEP, FERHAT; Karabacak, Osman; Malekmohammadi, Maryam; Fidan, Mehmet; Doğan, Musa (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2016-01-01) Psylliostachys spicata (Plumbaginaceae) is reported as a new genus record for Turkey; an amended species description is given. Bossier's record of Salvia pratensis (Lamiaceae) in Flora Orientalis is confirmed from Turkey. Additionally, the endemic Salvia ertekinii is reduced to a synonym of Salvia pinnata.
