First cytogenetic data on two trombidioid mites (Prostigmata) from Türkiye, with a checklist of known chromosome numbers in mites

ArticleAçık Erişim

Özet

Cytogenetic studies on mites (and ticks) remain scarce and have received limited attention in the literature. In this study, for the first time, chromosome numbers of two species belonging to Trombidioidea are presented. The diploid chromosome number was determined to be 2n=12 in Trombidium latum C.L. Koch, 1837 (Trombidiidae) and 2n=14 in Eutrombidium trigonum (Hermann, 1804) (Microtrombidiidae). Additionally, a comprehensive list of mite species with known chromosome numbers to date has been compiled. To support species identification, we generated the COI gene sequence of T. latum from Türkiye and compared it with available sequences in GenBank. The integration of cytogenetic and molecular data aims to improve species identification and provide a foundation for future phylogenetic and genetic diversity studies in trombidioid mites. © 2025, Les Amis d'Acarologia.

dc.description.sponsorshipThis study is part of the master\u2019s thesis of the first author and was presented as a short summary (only T. latum) at 3rd International Symposium on Biodiversity Research 20-22 October 2021, Erzurum, T\u00FCrkiye. This study was financially supported by the Scientific Research Fund of Erzincan Binali Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m University (EBYU), research project number FYL-2020-748. We are very grateful to EBYU for its financial support. We would like to thank Alper Torunlar for his assistance in collecting T. latum specimens during fieldwork, and Nisa G\u00FCm\u00FC\u015F for her help with the laboratory work. Also, we are very grateful to the two anonymous referees for their valuable comments, which also contributed significantly to the improvement of the manuscript.
