Morphological And Palynological Investigation On Silene Gigantea L. Var. Gigantea And Silene Behen L. (Caryophyllaceae) Distributed In Western Anatolia And Northern Cyprus, Kemal Yildiz
Turkish Journal of Botany
A comparative investigation was carried out on the morphology and palynology of Silene gigantea L. var. gigantea and Silene behen L. species of the family Caryophyllaceae distributed in Western Anatolia and Northern Cyprus. An examination conducted on S. gigantea var. gigantea revealed that the calyx length in Western Anatolian specimens was shorter than that of those from Northern Cyprus, that the basal petal blades of the Western Anatolian specimens did not have any ligula while those from Northern Cyprus did, and that the petal blades belonging to the specimens from Northern Cyprus demonstrated less clefting as compared to those from …
Carapacial Scute Variation In Green Turtle, Chelonia Mydas Hatchlings In Northern Cyprus, Burcu Özdemi̇r, Oğuz Türkozan
Carapacial Scute Variation In Green Turtle, Chelonia Mydas Hatchlings In Northern Cyprus, Burcu Özdemi̇r, Oğuz Türkozan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The carapacial scutes of 718 green turtle hatchlings, Chelonia mydas (Linnaeus, 1758), from 2 different nesting beaches in Northern Cyprus were examined. Scutes were examined with regard to variation within carapacial scute series and variation in carapacial scute pattern. The vertebral, costal and marginal series were the most variable and the supracaudal scutes were almost stable for the hatchlings. The most common scute pattern observed was 11 pairs of marginals, 4 pairs of costals, 5 vertebrals, 2 supracaudals and a single nuchal. The straight carapace length (SCL) of the hatchlings ranged from 39 to 51 mm with a weight that …
Hatching Success Of Original And Hatchery Nests Of The Green Turtle, Chelonia Mydas, In Northern Cyprus, Burcu Özdemi̇r, Oğuz Türkozan
Hatching Success Of Original And Hatchery Nests Of The Green Turtle, Chelonia Mydas, In Northern Cyprus, Burcu Özdemi̇r, Oğuz Türkozan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
This paper provides information on the relation of abiotic factors (moisture content, nest depth, distance of nest from the sea and distance from vegetation) and a biotic factor (clutch size) with the hatching success of green sea turtles, Chelonia mydas, in original nests and hatcheries in Northern Cyprus. A hundred and twenty-nine randomly selected clutches (67 original and 62 hatchery) were examined. First, original and hatchery nests were tested separately and none of the factors were found to be associated with hatching success. Since no differences were detected between the original and hatchery nests in terms of hatching success, both …
Chromosome Numbers Of 16 Endemic Plant Taxa From Northern Cyprus, Kemal Yildiz, Sali̇h Gücel
Chromosome Numbers Of 16 Endemic Plant Taxa From Northern Cyprus, Kemal Yildiz, Sali̇h Gücel
Turkish Journal of Botany
The chromosome numbers of 16 of the 19 endemic taxa of Northern Cyprus were investigated, 15 of which are new records. Diploid chromosome numbers of the taxa investigated varied between 2n = 12 and 2n = 30. One species, Scutellaria sibthorpii (Benth.) Hal., was both diploid (2n = 14) and tetraploid (2n = 28), and Sideritis cypria Post, 2n = 30, was either diploid or triploid.
