Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the genetic diversity of species in Rocky mouse, Apodemus mystacinus, using SSR (the simple sequence repeat) loci and to reveal the reasons of this variations, if any. In this study, 69 A. mystacinus samples were studied collected from 18 localities in Turkey. 7 SSR loci were used to determine the genetic diversity of A. mystacinus. As a result of this study, A. mystacinus includes 2 genetic groups that indicate the presence of two subspecies as A. m. mystacinus that is distributed in western Anatolia and A. m. euxinus in eastern Anatolia. This result also supports that one of the micro refugium areas is eastern Turkey and the other western and southern Turkey.

Apodemus mystacinus’un (Mammalia: Rodentia) Genetik Çeşitliliğinin SSR ile Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, SSR (basit dizi tekrarları) lokuslarını kullanarak kayalık faresinin, Apodemus mystacinus, genetik çeşitliliğini belirlemek ve varsa bu çeşitliliğin nedenleri ortaya koymaktır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'deki 18 lokaliteden toplanan 69 A. mystacinus örneği çalışılmıştır. A. mystacinus'un genetik çeşitliliğini belirlemek için 7 SSR lokusu kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonucuna göre A. mystacinus, iki alttürün varlığını gösteren 2 genetik grup içermektedir; Anadolu’nun batısında A. m. mystacinus ve Anadolu’nun doğusunda A. m. euxinus. Bu sonuç aynı zamanda mikro sığınak alanlarından birinin Türkiye'nin doğusunda, diğerinin ise batısında ve güneyinde olduğunu desteklemektedir.
