“…This lake system partitioned Anatolia and this might have interrupted the gene flow among populations around. Additionally, the effect of the Kızılırmak Delta, that was connected with central Anatolian lake system in Pliocene (5.3-2.6 Mya), on gene flow among A. mystacinus specimens was presented using Cytb gene and RFLP markers (Olgun Karacan PhD thesis, 2013;Olgun Karacan et al, 2015).…”

“…According to some authors, A. m. smyrnensis is one of the subspecies that lives in western Anatolia (Çolak et al, 2007;Olgun et al, 2009;Olgun Karacan et al, 2015). Neuhauser (1936) reported that A. m. smyrnensis was distributed in western Turkey and in the Taurus mountains using morphological data.…”

“…Çolak et al (2007) suggested that İzmir, Aydın and Bursa specimens of A. mystacinus were different from the other specimens collected from Anatolia based on esterase variations and researchers claimed that these western specimens might be A. m. smyrnensis. The differentiation of the specimens that was distributed in western Turkey was supported using RAPD (Olgun et al, 2009) and mtDNA-RFLP (Olgun Karacan et al, 2015) variations. On the other hand, some researchers have claimed that A. m. symrnensis is synonymous with A. m. mystacinus based on morphological, biometrical, karyological, studies and bacular, phallic differentiations (Ellerman, 1948;Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951;Çolak et al, 2004).…”

“…The other controversial subspecies is A. m. euxinus (Allen, 1915), and while some studies indicated that northern or northeastern Anatolia is the distribution area of this subspecies using morphological data (Neuhaser, 1936) and esterase variations (Çolak et al, 2007), others claimed the homogeneity of northeastern and eastern Anatolian populations depend on biometric measurements (Çolak et al, 2004) and genetic data Olgun et al, 2009;Olgun Karacan et al, 2015). Michaux et al (2005) has revealed that there is a different lineage that is distributed in southwestern Turkey and Crete using molecular data, and researchers has called these specimens as A.…”

“…Similarly, Olgun et al (2009) has showed two different lineages in western Turkey based on RAPD markers, and one of them has included Muğla specimens in the southwestern part. However, the validity of A. m. rhodius hasn't been supported by morphological (Ellerman, 1948;Vohralik et al, 2002;Çolak et al, 2004) and mtDNA-RFLP studies (Olgun Karacan et al, 2015).…”

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.

Although genetic diversity and phylogenetic status of the gray hamster (Cricetulus migratorius) have been investigated from different regions in previous studies, genetic data on this species from Turkey are still lacking, since previous data have been based on a limited number of gray hamsters sampled across the Anatolian part of Turkey. The aim of this study was to determine the genetic diversity of the Anatolian population and to reveal the phylogenetic relationships among the Anatolian population and conspecific populations of the gray hamster. The complete and partial fragments of mitochondrial Cyt b and 12S rRNA from the 20 Turkish samples were amplified and sequenced. Ten 12S rRNA (901 bp) and 15 Cyt b (1140 bp) haplotypes found in this work were not previously reported. Based on Bayesian, Maximum Likelihood, Neighbour-Joining and Median-Joining network analyses by using mitochondrial data under the name Cricetulus, the results of phylogenetic and network analyses indicated that there was a deep separation among the distinct lineages within the genus Cricetulus. When considering the position of the Turkish haplotypes in median joining network, the Anatolian part of Turkey may have hosted a source population of the gray hamster for expansion to adjacent regions in the past period. Additionally, the Anatolian population of gray hamster had relatively high haplotype diversity and the present study propounded the importance of data obtained from the Anatolian population of gray hamster to reveal the phylogenetic relationships among conspecific populations of the gray hamster.

The Eastern broad toothed field mouse, Apodemus mystacinus, is a rodent species distributed in Turkey, the Middle East, and a few Aegean Islands. The aim of this study is to analyse the phylogeographic structure of A. mystacinus and possible causes of its differentiation, on the basis of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences using a large number of new samples from Turkey. In this context, partial mitochondrial sequences of cytochrome b (Cytb), control region (D-loop) and a nuclear interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) gene were used to reveal the geographical differentiation among A. mystacinus populations and the validity of its subspecies. The estimated divergence times revealed that the first separation of A. mystacinus into three distinct groups (subspecies of A. mystacinus: A. m. mystacinus, A. m. smyrnensis, and A. m. euxinus) begun 0.641 Mya. The possible physical barriers in Anatolia such as high mountains and rivers could interrupt the gene flow between A. mystacinus populations. The results of the present study indicated that A. mystacinus might have used the high rocky areas along the Anatolian Diagonal as a dispersal way. Moreover, mitochondrial data in this study suggested for the first time that A. m. rhodius is synonymous with the nominative subspecies A. m. mystacinus.
