- 1 May 2000
The observation of rare alleles in isoenzymes, detection of high genetic diversity and the presence of four known subspecies support the argument that Anatolia has been a genetic center for honeybee populations in the Near East.
Mitochondrial DNA variation in honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) populations from Turkey

- 1 January 2006
Summary We have studied mitochondrial (mt) DNA variation in 334 honey bee colonies from 7 different geographic regions of Turkey. We have evaluated Dra I restriction profiles of the CO-I CO-II…

Among the four polymorphic loci, Mdh-1 showed the highest and Est-3 the lowest differentiation among populations, and cluster analysis of electrophoretic data showed a similar type of groupings.
The Genetic Polymorphisms and Colonization Process of Olive Fly Populations in Turkey
- E. Doğaç, I. Kandemir, V. Taşkin
- BiologyPLoS ONE
- 14 February 2013
Nuclear microsatellite markers and mitochondrial DNA results suggest olive flies from the western part of Turkey are closely related to Italo-Aegean flies of the Mediterranean basin and the olive fly populations have invaded the northern part of the European Mediterranean basin through western Turkey.
Genetic Variation in Turkish Red Pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) Seed Stands as Determined by RAPD Markers
- G. E. Kandedmir, I. Kandemir, Z. Kaya
- Environmental Science
- 1 December 2004
To explore the extent of genetic variation in Turkish red pine seed stands, a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker system was used and the highest genetic differentiation was found in the Western Mediterranean geographic region, however, within population genetic diversity was found to be similar among different geographic regions.
Taxonomic status of the genus Spermophilus (Mammalia: Rodentia) in Turkey and Iran with description of a new species

- 19 July 2007
A new species of Spermophilus is reported, distributed in the Taurus Mountains in southern Anatolia, Turkey, with Morphometrics, coat coloration, a brush-shaped tail, and a NFa value of 72 are diagnostic characters that distinguish S. torosensis sp.

Morphometric and genetic structure of the edible dormouse (Glis glis): a consequence of forest fragmentation in Turkey
- Zeycan Helvaci, S. Renaud, E. Çolak
- Environmental Science
- 1 November 2012
Turkey, at the crossroad of European and Asian species, heavily impacted by the current global change including climatic and anthropogenic factors, appears of importance for understanding the historical dynamics of differentiation and exchanges between populations that shaped the current distribution of Eurasian species and their future survival.
