Current genetic status of honey bees in Anatolia in terms of thirty polymorphic microsatellite markers

İzole bölgelerde korunan Kafkas arısı, Apis mellifera caucasica Pollmann, 1889 (Hymenoptera: Apidae) popülasyonunda genetik varyasyonun azalıp azalmadığına dair bir çalışma

“…When all microsatellite loci were examined, the mean NA was calculated as 13.57. It is seen that this value is higher than previous studies (Bodur et al, 2007;Ivgin Tunca, 2009;Karabağ et al, 2020). The high NA value indicates that the number of samples used in the study is sufficient to measure genetic diversity (Mielnik-Sikorska et al, 2013).…”

The Investigation of Variations in Düzce Honey Bee Populations Under The Influence of Beekeeping Activities by Using Morphometric Method

“…Düzce kestane ve orman gülü ağırlıklı bitki florası ve bu floraya uyum sağlamış Yığılca ekotipi ile öne çıkan illerimizden biridir. Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarda Düzce/Yığılca arısının davranış özellikleri bakımından farklılıklar taşıyan ve küçük bir alan içerisinde lokalize olmuş bir popülasyon olduğu ifade edilmektedir (Kekeçoğlu 2007, 2009, Tozkar 2020, Karabağ 2020. Mevcut çalışmaların çoğunluğu, Düzce'nin Yığılca ilçesinden toplanmış az sayıda örneğe dayalı analizlerden ibarettir.…”

A Preliminary Study for the Application of ISSR Markers to Discriminate Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Populations in Turkey

“…Anatolia's diverse climatic and geologic structure and its location as a bridge between Europe, Asia, and Africa led a considerable honey bee biodiversity in this region represented by five subspecies: A. m. caucasica at black sea region and northeastern Anatolia, A. m. carnica at Thrace region of north western Anatolia, A. m. anatoliaca, at western and central Anatolia, A. m. meda at southeastern Anatolia, and A. m. syriaca at Syria border region of southeastern Anatolia, (Ruttner, 1988;Kandemir, Kence, & Kence, 2000;2005) Honeybee diversity in Turkey was extensively studied using allozyme polymorphism, mitochondrial DNA, RAPD and microsatellite markers (Smith, Slaymaker, Palmer, & Kaftanoglu, 1997;Palmer, Smith, & Kaftanoglu, 2000;Bodur, Kence, & Kence, 2007;Tunca & Kence, 2011;Karabağ, Tunca, Sevim, & Doğaroğlu, 2020). Inter-SSR markers is based on amplification of genomic DNA segments flanked by the inversely oriented and closely spaced within microsatellite loci using microsatellite core unit bearing oligonucleotide primers.…”
