Kovalius (Opiliones: Sclerosomatidae: Leiobuninae) is a small genus of harvestmen described by Tchemeris, 2023. The first description of Kovalius logunovi was made from Russia and it was subsequently recorded from Türkiye on the basis of the morphological data. The use of morphological data alone for the identification of taxa and determination of their relationships may lead to limitations and difficulties in some cases. As a result, the use of molecular data in addition to the morphological data in the identification of new taxa and determination of phylogenetic relationships increases the reliability of studies. In this study, the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene region of the Kovalius logunovi species was examined for the first time and a sequence of approximately 408 bp was obtained. Based on these data, the phylogenetic relationships of the species with similar species were revealed.

The initial phase of the studies focused on the conservation of gene resources involves the phenotypic and genetic characterization of existing breeds. By elucidating the differences at the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) level, a particularly suitable source for genetic analyses, it becomes feasible to calculate genetic distances between local breeds, identify potential domestication centers through evolutionary analyses, and construct phylogeny trees depicting kinship relationships between among breeds. Şanlıurfa holds significance in pigeon breeding due to its prolonged history of traditional pigeon breeding, establishing itself as one of the pigeon domestication centers. This study aims to genetically characterize Şebap pigeon breed which is specific to Şanlıurfa province in Türkiye. The mitogenome of the Şebap pigeon was analyzed by next generation sequencing and determined to be 17,232 bp in size, comprising 13 Protein-Coding Genes (PCGs), two Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 Transfer RNAs (tRNAs). The overall mitogenome composition includes 29.6% for A, 24.5% for T, 31.2% for C, and 14.7% for G, with a notable A–T richness of 54.1%. Notably, ND6 is encoded on the L strand while the others are encoded on the H strand. Our study has provided a comprehensive examination of whole mitochondrial DNA. Using this information, we have constructed a phylogenetic tree, locating the Şebap pigeon within the rock pigeon lineage.
