| The genetic diversity of 22 allozyme loci was investigated in 33 wild rat (Rattus norvegicus) specimens from 4 sub-populations. Eight of the 22 loci (Pgm, Hk, Me-M, Ldh, a-Gpdh-1, o-Gpdh-2, Fum, Xdh) were polymorphic. The level of genetic variation was measured by mean number of alleles per locus (A= 1.18), percentage of polymorphic loci (P= 18.2), mean heterozygosity per locus observed (Ho= 0.007), and mean heterozygosity expected under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (He= 0.057). Mean F, value was 034, indicating 34% genetic variation and suggesting high-level differentiation be-tween sub-populations of the Turkish wild rat. The number of migrants (Nm) was 048 and showed that gene flow was relatively low between sub-populations. Even though a high level of genetic variation was observed, the low Nm value and Ho could be evidence of the Wahlund effect or a genetic bottleneck for the sub … |
