Popis: Myotismyotis (Borkhausen, 1797) and Myotisblythii (Tomes, 1857) are genetically close species ofbats with very similar morphology and karyology. In this study, specificdescriptive markers of 3 species (Myotis myotis,Myotis blythii, and M.cappacinii) belonging to the genus Myotis were determined byusing ISSR technique for the first time. In total, 91 bands including 86polymorphic bands were obtained from the 7 best-optimized primers out of the analyzed 16 primers. UPMGA clusteranalysis showed 4 separate clusters. According to these results, the M. myotis and M. blythii were divided into two close groups, whereasa single individual belonging to M.myotis colony formed the thirdgroup. M. cappacinii was in a more distinct and remote group withrespect to sibling species. Genetic diversity for all populations wascalculated as 94.5%. ISSR-PCR method was shown to be a reliable and usefultechnique for detecting genotypic similarities/differences of Myotis species.
