“…3 species of Canidae, one of the most interesting families of Mammalia, which is threatened due to illegal poaching, poisoning, and habitat loss, have been explored by DNA barcoding approach to validate COI barcode and detect genetic divergence. The mean sequence divergence among and within species was 12.32% and 0.61% respectively indicating relatively higher genetic diversity than previously reported studies (Aksöyek et al, 2017). The consistency between DNA barcoding and morphological identification for a particular species depends on the presence or absence of sibling species that are morphologically and genetically similar.…”

Systematics plays the most crucial role in biodiversity conservation which is at stake due to anthropogenic activities and environmental degradations. The ever-increasing decline of classical taxonomic expertise drives the need to develop molecular marker-based tools for quick, efficient, and reliable detection of organisms, to assess their ecological impacts for deepening our understanding of systematic and evolutionary relationships between organisms which is central to biology. The pace of alpha taxonomy has quickened by its integration with an increasingly fashionable and novel concept called DNA barcoding which utilizes a short genetic marker or barcode to categorize species for enhanced biodiversity assessment. As a supplementary but not complete alternative of systematics research, DNA barcoding, however, not error-free, brings precision in identification by solving existing problems of classical taxonomy and phylogenetics, irrespective of the growth stage of organisms, particularly for known taxa rather than unknown ones. Mitochondrial gene Cytochrome C Oxidase 1 (COI) serves as a universal animal barcode but there is no such universal barcode for plants and developing a suitable one is more challenging. With the recent advancement of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), DNA metabarcoding technology is advancing rapidly. Still, ambiguity and error prevail with the correct identification of species due to some problems. After extensive analysis of the existing DNA barcoding papers, this review discusses commonly used DNA barcodes in plants and animals, their roles, advantages, limitations to solve existing problems of conservation biology and add the author’s views and recommendations.

“…Although studies have considered the potential role of Anatolia as a glacial refugium for some species (Bilgin, ; Hewitt, ), phylogeographical analyses related to the potential refugia in the Anatolian region are scarce. Molecular studies on the mammal species distributed in Turkey, such as rodents, carnivores and some insectivores, have suggested that these populations harbour unique genetic lineages, either in terms of haplotypes or evolutionarily significant units (Aksöyek, İbiş, Özcan, Moradi, & Tez, ; Bannikova et al., ; Dubey, Diker, Kurtonur, & Vogel, ; Dubey et al., ; Gündüz, Rambau, Tez, & Searle, ; Gündüz et al., , ; İbiş, Aksöyek, Özcan, & Tez, ; İbiş, Tez, & Özcan, ; İbiş et al., ; Neumann et al., ).…”

Genetic analysis of Turkish martens: Do two species of the genus Martes occur in Anatolia?

Stone marten (Martes foina) and European pine marten (M. martes) occur in western Eurasia. Current distributions of martens within Turkey and phylogenetic relationships among the Turkish and other populations of the two species within Eurasia remain relatively unknown. In this study, we aimed to determine genetic diversity within Martes populations inhabiting Turkey and to reveal the phylogenetic relationships among the Turkish and conspecific populations of the two marten species, using mitochondrial cytochrome b (CytB) sequences. Twenty‐four (24) haplotypes were identified among 86 marten samples collected across Turkey, including 23 novel haplotypes. Genetic distances among the Turkish haplotypes ranged from 0.1% to 0.8%, with an average of 0.3%. The 24 Turkish haplotypes were analysed together with those of conspecific populations deposited in GenBank. Phylogenetic (Bayesian Inference, maximum likelihood, neighbor‐joining) and network analyses revealed that all of the Turkish samples belonged to M. foina and that samples of M. martes were not encountered. Haplotypes of M. foina were divided into five haplogroups. The haplogroup including the two Chinese samples differed markedly from other the haplogroups. The remaining haplogroups contained samples from both the Turkish and European populations. We found that there was a genetically close relationship between the Turkish and the European stone marten populations. As a result of this study, M. martes may not be distributed in the Anatolian part of Turkey, possibly due to a barrier effect of two straits (Dardanelles and Bosporus) and the Caucasus Mountains. On the other hand, M. foina is distributed in both the Anatolian and Thracian parts of Turkey. Our results suggest that Turkey was likely one of the refuges for M. foina during Pleistocene glacial periods and is one of the centres of distribution of stone marten for Europe and the surrounding regions.

“…The number of direct and indirect scientific studies conducted on the jackal in Turkey is limited. Aksöyek (2015) conducted a master's thesis on DNA barcoding for the identification of 3 Canidae species (wolf Canis lupus, jackal and fox Vulpes vulpes) distributed in Turkey. İbiş et al (2015) performed phylogenetic studies on the jackal that were based on D-loop sequences.…”

In this study, altitudinal distribution and habitat use of the golden jackal (Canis aureus) in Trabzon, Arsin, Yanbolu Valley were tried to be determined starting from September 2019 to February 2021. In the study area with a total area of 158 km 2 , 62-days fieldwork was carried out. Direct and indirect observation methods were used in field studies. Direct observations were made by one or two-person using point and line observations, as well as using camera traps. In indirect observations, signs such as the jackal's footprints, scats, etc. were used. As a result of the research, data such as 253 camera trap images of the jackal, direct observation in one area, 16 jackal howling sounds in three areas, and footprints in one area were obtained from 40 meters the upper limit of the forest at an altitude up to 1514 meters. It is also the highest altitude at which the jackal has been recorded in Europe. It is seen that the jackal is distributed in areas close to agricultural and residential areas at low altitudes whereas, it is generally distributed in forest areas at higher elevations. In forest areas, it has been observed that it can easily use forests with high closure as well as forest areas with low closure. The elements that threaten the jackal are lack of information about the species, poaching, predator pressure, stray dogs, roads, agricultural drugs, and environmental pollution.
