Abstract

It is possible that the origin of Podarcis sicurus, which was introduced to Turkey by humans, is based on two different source populations or that the samples introduced to different geographies may differ at the subspecies level. The rapid evolutionary processes observed in island species can similarly occur in introduced and isolated populations. In this study Tissues were taken from samples obtained from Zonguldak, Istanbul and Samsun. mtDNA gene sequences were obtained and combined with Podarcis sicurus samples from sequences downloaded from Genbank. Phylogenetic analyzes and species delimitation analyzes were executed. Accordingly results, the specimens obtained from Turkey were grouped into two different haplotypes, similar to their geographic isolation. It has been observed that these groups are different resource groups. Species delimination analyzes show that the differentiation of these haplotypes may be at the subspecies level.

Türkiye Podarcis siculus siculus (Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1810) Populasyonlarının Kökenini Ortaya Çıkarmak için Tür Sınırlarının Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Türkiye’ye insan eliyle getirilen Podarcis sicurus türünün kökeninin iki farklı kaynak populasyona dayanma olasılığı ya da farklı coğrafyalara taşınan örneklerin alttür seviyesinde farkılaşma olasılığı bulunmaktadır. Ada türlerinde gözlemlenen hızlı evrimleşme süreçleri, taşınmış ve izole olmuş popülasyonlarda da benzer şekilde ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’den üç farklı lokaliteden; Zonguldak, İstanbul ve Samsun'dan elde edilen örneklerden dokular alınmıştır. mtDNA gen dizileri elde edilmiş ve Türkiye'ye ait Podarcis sicurus örnekleri ve Genbanktan indirilen dizilerle birleştirilmiştir. Filogenetik analizler ve tür sınırlama analizleri yapılmıştır. Buna göre, türün Türkiye'den elde edilen örnekleri coğrafik izolasyonlarına benzer şekilde iki farklı haplotipte gruplanmıştır. Bu grupların farklı kaynak grupları olduğu görülmüştür. Species delimination analizleri ise bu haplotiplerin farklılıklaşmasının alttür düzeyinde olabileceğini göstermektedir.
