Türkiye'nin güneybatısındaki istilacı Coptodon (Perciformes: Cichlidae): Dizi verileri kullanılarak tür tanımlaması

Öz

Egzotik bir tür olarak tilapyalar (Coptodon zillii) Akdeniz'in batı kıyılarında bulunan Köyceğiz ve Koca Göllerinde populasyonlar oluşturmuşlardır. Bu göllerde bu familyaya ait farklı tür isimleri uzun yıllardır rapor edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada mevcut GenBank verileri referans alınarak her iki gölde ve Peçenek kanalında mevcut populasyonlar oluşturan Coptodon örnekleri incelenmiştir. Mitokondriyal D-loop segmentinin dizi verilerini kullanarak olası atasal populasyon tahmin edilmiştir. Ayrıca populasyonlar arası ve populasyon içi morfolojik varyasyonu, 25 morfolojik ve altı meristik karakter kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Haplotip analizi sonuçları, üç Coptodon populasyonunda, zayıf bir genetik çeşitliliği göstermiş ve üç benzersiz haplotip ortaya çıkarmıştır. Hem maksimum olabilirlik hem de Bayesian ağaçları, bu üç haplotipin Coptodon zillii kladında ayrı bir alt klad oluşturduğunu göstermiştir. Bu filogenetik model, her iki gölün populasyonlarının da C. zillii türüne ait olduğunu ve bölgede tek bir türün alanı istila ettiğini ortaya koymuştur. Filogenetik verilerle tutarlı olarak, her iki gölün populasyonları arasında, Peçenek populasyonu biraz farklı olsa da, önemli fenotipik varyasyon göstermediği belirlenmiştir. Populasyon içi morfolojik farklılıklar, göllerdeki habitat heterojenliğine tepki olarak fenotipik esneklikten kaynaklandığı ileri sürülebilir.

Invasive Coptodon (Perciformes: Cichlidae) in southwest Turkey: Species identification using sequence data

Abstract

Nonnative cichlids (Coptodon zillii) have established populations in the Köyceğiz and Koca Lakes, located on the west coasts of Mediterranean Turkey. Conflicting species names in these lakes have been reported for many years. We studied samples from current populations of Coptodon in these lakes and the Pecenek canal concerning existing GenBank data. We estimated the possible ancestral population using sequence data in the mitochondrial D-loop segment. Inter and intra-population morphological variations of Coptodon were examined using 25 morphological and six meristic characters. Haplotype analysis revealed three unique haplotypes in three populations of Coptodon, indicating poor genetic diversity. Both maximum likelihood and Bayesian trees showed that these three haplotypes constitute a distinct subclade within the Coptodon zillii clade. This phylogenetic pattern indicates that populations of both lakes were founded by a single invasion of C. zillii and belong to a single species. Consistent with phylogenetic data, the populations of both lakes do not exhibit significant phenotypic divergence, though the Pecenek population is slightly divergent. Intra-population morphological variability may be due to phenotypic plasticity in response to habitat heterogeneity within the lakes.
