(2021) Atay, Erol; Ersal, Mustafa; Karabağ, Kemal; Çetin, İsmail Turan
Striped hyaena (Hyaena hyaena) is one of the species in danger of extinction and categorized globallyas “Under Threatened Organism”. From time to time, different tissue samples and carcasses of thestriped hyena are reported in different regions of Anatolia. In this study, 571 bp length of CytochromeC Oxidase Subunit II (COX 2) of mitochondiral DNA from hair, ears, nails and teeth specimens fromsix striped hyaenas were amplified and sequenced to determined phylogenetic relationships betweenclose and distant species related to hyaena. Tissue samples using in this study were found randomlyat different times in Hatay province, Turkey. According to our results, all colected samples locatedin Hatay region are the members of H. hyaena species. Moreover, this research is the first molecularresearch using COX2 gene region for phylogenetic analysis in Turkey. Further investigation can beperformed on studies that suggest determining phylogenetic status of striped hyaenas.
