“…while, Ovis gmelinii anatolica might have lost its variability in the previous century due to a severe bottleneck [22] . However, the frequency of most common Y chromosome haplotype(s) found in different countries were as follows: 72.8% H6 [29] in African breeds; 60.7% H6 [7,8] in sheep breeds from all over the world; 65.0% [30] in Northern Eurasian breeds; 55.5% H8 and 34.5% H6 [31] in Tunisian breeds; 43.4% H6 [32] in Chinese breeds.…”

“…Three points may be drawn from wild sheep ethology (Kaya et al, 2004); firstly, the breeding cycle, with late May births, synchronises periods of maximum nutritional requirements with greatest nutritious resource availability; grasses are the most nutritious diet (Andrzejewska and Gyllenberg, 1980); secondly, herds extend their optimal habitat by moving between cooler uphill locations in summer and more protected lower elevations in Fig. 10.…”

“…Likely candidates for wild ancestors of the European lineage of domestic sheep are populations found in Turkey and western Iran. At the species or subspecies level, these populations are currently referred to Ovis orientalis , Ovis orientalis Gmelin, 1774, Ovis gmelinii Blyth, 1841, Ovis anatolica Valenciennes, 1856, Ovis ophion or Ovis musimon ( Kaya et al 2000 , 2004 , Kryštufek and Vohralík 2009 ). The Konya wild sheep is a westernmost taxon of extant wild sheep endemic to Central Anatolia in Turkey, and it is usually referred to Ovis orientalis anatolica (Kryštufek & Vohralík, 2009) or Ovis gmelinii anatolica ( Kaya et al 2000 ).…”

“…The karyotype of the Konya wild sheep was studied by Kaya et al (2004) , and the diploid number of 54 chromosomes was ascertained. Only a description of the basic karyotype characteristics was given, without any illustrations.…”
