Turkish Journal of Zoology
Karyological, morphological, bacular and phallic aspects of Prometheomys schaposchnikowi were examined based on 22specimens collected in Ardanuç and Ardahan. The diploid number of chromosomes is 2n=56, the number of autosomal arms isNFa=100, and the fundamental number is NF=104, the X chromosome is a large submetacentric, and the Y chromosome is thesmallest metacentric. In adults, sagittal crest begins in frontal region, ends in parietal region into two parts. The phallus is covered with spines. The length of phallus is 15.94 mm in average. The median part of distal baculum is 1.51 in length. Proximal baculum is 3.74 mm in length.

The Morphology Of Vipera Ammodytes Transcaucasiana (Reptilia, Viperidae) Specimens Collected From Murgul (Artvin, Turkey)Bilal Kutrup, Bi̇lal Kutrup
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The morphological characteristics and distribution of Vipera ammodytes transcaucasiana, which is a member of the Vipera kaznakovi group, were studied. The transcaucasian horned viper specimens were captured from Murgul, Artvin, in Turkey. This species differs from all other vipers in the Near and Middle East in respect of its pronounced horn. It is similar to Vipera pontica in the greenish-yellowish tip of the tail, but differs in having more apicals.

The Morphology Of The Venom Apparatus And Histology Of Venom Gland Of Pimpla Turionellae(L.) (Hym; Ichneumonidae) Females, Fevzi̇ Uçkan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The morphology of the parts of the venom apparatus and the histology of venom glands of the idiobiont solitary pupal endoparasitoid Pimpla turionellae(L.) were examined under microscope. There are two valvula 1, one valvula 2, two valvula 3, two valvifer 1, two valvifer 2, a Dufour's gland and a venom gland in the venom apparatus of P. turionellae. These structures were described and their characteristics were determined. Several venom gland tubules are attached to the reservoir at the top of the venom gland of P. turionellae. These tubules consist of spherical and oval cells of various sizes arranged around the …

Morphological Investigation Of Rana Ridibunda (Anura: Ranidae) Populations In The Black Sea Region, Yusuf Kumlutaş, Murat Tosunoğlu, Bayram Göçmen
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, a total of 115 Rana ridibunda specimens (64 males ; 51 females) from the Black Sea region (10 localities) have been investigated. Morphometric measurements of the samples and some of their ratios derived from them comprise the morphological investigation together with pattern and coloration analyses. It was found that the populations examined belong to the nominal subspecies of R. r. ridibunda.

Specimens Of Ophisops Elegans (Sauria:Lacertidae) Collected From Ihlara Valley (Aksaray), Kurtuluş Olgun, Cemal Varol Tok
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, a total of 30 specimens (15 , 15 ) collected from Ihlara Valley were examined for their taxonomic characteristics. The Ihlara population was compared with two nearby populations (Kayseri and Karaman), which are included in the distribution range of Ophisops elegans centralanatoliae. When pholidosis, coloration and pattern features were taken into consideration it was concluded that the Ihlara population can be included in the species Ophisops elegans centralanatoliae.
Morphological, Osteological And Serological Investigations On Bufo Viridis (Anura: Bufonidae) Populations In Turkey, Murat Tosunoğlu
Morphological, Osteological And Serological Investigations On Bufo Viridis (Anura: Bufonidae) Populations In Turkey, Murat Tosunoğlu
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, 863 (446 males ; 417 females ) adults and 120 juvenile B.viridis specimens collected from various localities in Turkey were examined by morphological, osteological and serological methods. Our results did not establish any qualitative or quantitative differences which are significant between the populations examined. However the populations from the southern parts of Anatolia (Mersin, Adana, Antakya and Urfa) were found to be relatively different than those of the other regions of Turkey in colour and pattern. By polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis, blood serum proteins generally could be seperated into 9-13 fractions or fraction groups. The qualititative comparison of …

A Morphological Investigation On The Anuran Species Of The Reşadiye (Datça) Peninsula (Anura: Bufonidae, Hylidae, Ranidae), Cemal Varol Tok
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this survey the amphibian fauna of Reşadiye (Datça) Peninsula, which has not been studied in detail so far, is given. No urodelan species has been encountered during the present work; but the presence of four different species belonging to three anuran families is established. Bufo bufo, Bufo viridis, Hyla arborea and Rana ridibunda specimens were collected from two, five, three and six different localities respectively, establishing the status of the peninsula's anura fauna. A total of 125 adult and two juvenile specimens were studied morphologically. Some observations on the ecological and biological characteristics of the anurans are also given.

Morphology And Seasonal Distributions Of External Myiasis Flies Determined In Elazığ Province, Cem Ecmel Şaki̇, Edi̇p Özer
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
A study was carried out on morphology and seasonal distribution of myiasis flies in Elazığ and its districts (Sivrice, Kovancılar, Baskil and Salkaya) in 1994-1995. Putrified meat, liver and spleen pieces were used as baits to attract and congregate myiasis flies. In addition the baits were treated with Golden Malrin to kill the attracted flies for collection. Thus a total of 10440 myiasis flies were collected from the study sites. They were composed 7989 (76.52 %) Lucilia sericata, 35 (0.34 %) L. caesar, 540 (5.17 %) Calliphora vicina, 46 (0.44 %) C. vomitoria, 1416 (13.56 %) Chrysomyia albiceps, 3 (0.03 …

Morphology And Development Of Several External Myiasis Larvae Recorded In Elazığ, Cem Ecmel Şaki̇, Edi̇p Özer
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
A study was conducted on external myiasis of livestock in Elazığ and its districts (Sivrice, Kovancılar, Baskil and Salkaya) in 1994-1995. Eight species of myiasis flies including Lucilia sericata, L. caesar, Calliphora vicina, C. vomitoria, Chrysomya albiceps, Wohlfahrtia magnifica, Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis and S. carnaria were determined and published seperately. In addition, morphological and biological characteristics of larvae of Lucilia sericata, Calliphora vicina, Wohlfahrtia magnifica and Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis were investigated under laboratory conditions as well. The studies showed that development from larvae to fly was recognized in 17-22 days for L. sericata, 10-16 days for S. haemorrhoidalis, 19-23 days for C. …
The Taxonomic Status Of Triturus Vulgaris(Linnaeus, 1758) Populations In Western Anatolia, Turkey, Kurtuluş Olgun, İbrahi̇m Baran, Cemal Varol Tok
The Taxonomic Status Of Triturus Vulgaris(Linnaeus, 1758) Populations In Western Anatolia, Turkey, Kurtuluş Olgun, İbrahi̇m Baran, Cemal Varol Tok
Turkish Journal of Zoology
A total of 179 (97 males, 82 females) Triturus vulgaris specimens collected during the breeding season from Western Anatolia (Efes, Ayvacık, Lapseki, Karacabey, Gemlik) and European Turkey (Bolayır) was examined. The morphological and the statistical evaluations showed that the Western Anatolian (except Efes) and the Thrace populations are similar. The West Anatolian populations, therefore, should be included in the nominate subspecies, T.v. vulgaris. The Efes specimens were found to be different from specimens of Ayvacik, Lapseki and Gemlik especially in terms of body measurements. The explanation of the taxonomic status of the Efes population will be possible with the material …
