Notes from the Anatolian underground: two new mole taxa from Eastern Turkey, together with a revised phylogeny of the genus Talpa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Talpidae) Author Gündüz, İslam Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Ondokuz Mayıs University, Samsun, Turkey gunduzi@omu.edu.tr Author Demirtaş, Sadık Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Ondokuz Mayıs University, Samsun, Turkey Author Silsüpür, Metin Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Ondokuz Mayıs University, Samsun, Turkey Author Özmen, Medine Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Ondokuz Mayıs University, Samsun, Turkey Author Polly, P.

Table 1. Geographic origin of Talpa sampled in this and previous studies, with details on the distribution of haplotypes. The frequencies of haplotypes retrieved from GenBank are stated in parentheses. Cytb haplotypes (Hap.1–20, GenBank accession numbers:OQ695509–OQ695528) and BRCA2 haplotypes (Hap.1–8, GenBank accession numbers: OQ695501–OQ695508) were new to this study. * When we aligned our BRCA2 haplotypes with the shorter (656 bp) published haplotypes, our T. davidiana haplotypes (Hap.4–6) and that (KP717132) in Bannikova et al. (2015) became identical, giving us a single BRCA2 haplotype in T. davidiana in the final dataset used for phylogenetic analyses.Locality codes correspond to Figure 1. See Supporting Information, Table S1 for sequences from other taxa used in phylogenetic analyses.Abbreviations used for collections: OMU-IG/SD, personal collection of İ. Gündüz and S. Demirtaş, Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Ondokuz Mayıs University, Samsun, Turkey; FMNH, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, USA. † The last four (OMU-IG/SD collection) or five/six (FMNH collection) digits of the museum collection numbers were used to identify individual specimens in geometric morphometric analysis (e.g. see Supporting Information, Figs S1– S3; Table S3; Files S1, S2)
