Özet

Amblyseius swirskii is one of the most important Phytoseiidae mites commercialized worldwide for the control of mites and small insect pests. The study aims to (i) investigate genetic variation among seven populations collected from different locations and crops (cotton, orange) in Turkey and (ii) compare them with commercial populations, based on 12S rRNA and Cytb mitochondrial DNA sequences. The mean genetic distances among the Turkish populations were very low (0.7% for 12S rRNA and 0.9% for Cytb mtDNA), ranging from 0 to 2.8% and 0 to 1.5%, respectively. The two phylogenetic trees show two distinct groups containing the same samples for the two fragments.
