Özet
Özet Phalangium nalanae Kurt, Erdek & Kurt 2023 ve Phalangium taylani Kurt, Erdek & Kurt 2023 türleri morfolojik verilere dayanarak daha önceden, Türkiye (Hakkâri)’den tanımlanmış ve türlere ait moleküler veriler sunulmamıştır. Bu çalışmada; Phalangium cinsine ait bu türlerin 28S rRNA gen bölgesi dizilenmiş, maksimum olabilirlik (ML) analizi ve Bayesian çıkarım (BI) analizi yapılarak bu türlerin filogenetik ilişkileri ortaya konulmuştur.
