    Genetic Diversity of Populations of Bezoar Capra aegagrus Erxleben, 1777 (Mammalia: Bovidae) with Different Phenotypic Characteristics in Karaman Province, T?rkiye, Using Partial D-Loop Sequence of Mitochondrial DNA

    The genetic and morphological diversity of the bezoars from two habitats in the Karaman Province (south-western Anatolia, Turkiye), i.e. camlica and Nunu Valleys, was explored. No previous ecomorphological and molecular genetic studies had been performed on these populations. Horn length differentiation and the sequence analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop region are presented. In addition, 87 previously obtained sequences of bezoar were included in the analyses aiming to determine both phylogenetic rela-tionships and population genetic structure of the Anatolian wild goats. A statistically significant difference between the horn lengths of 18 bezoar samples taken from two habitats were found. From the five D-loop sequences obtained in this study, two haplotypes were identified, one of them being a new haplotype found only in the Nunu Valley population. The other haplotypes were found in both bezoar populations studied as well as in some other south-western Anatolian bezoar populations (from the Mersin Province, close to Karaman). Phylogenetic analyses (Maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic trees, Median-joining network) revealed eight Anatolian wild goat haplogroups. These haplogroups consisted of a common an-cestral lineage with 481-bp long (all over Anatolia) and a more recent lineage with 556 bp (only in Akseki, Mersin and Nunu Valley-Karaman). According to the results, it could be said that there are introgressive hy-brid populations in Nunu Valley, Karaman, as well as in the Akseki and Mersin Provinces. The findings also revealed that the morphological difference between the Nunu and camlica populations was due to different gene pools, which indicated the presence of introgression rather than phenotypic plasticity.
