Distribution Of Two Pine Processionary Moth Species In Turkey Evidences A Contact Zone, Kahraman İpekdal, Christian Burban, Carole Kerdelhue, Seli̇m Süalp Çağlar
Distribution Of Two Pine Processionary Moth Species In Turkey Evidences A Contact Zone, Kahraman İpekdal, Christian Burban, Carole Kerdelhue, Seli̇m Süalp Çağlar
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The pine processionary moths Thaumetopoea pityocampa and T. Wilkinsoni are among the most important Mediterranean pine defoliators. Although recent studies suggest that the two species may coexist in Turkey, the relevant literature lacks precise information on the occurrence and exact distribution of the two species in this country. In particular, whether the two sister taxa form a contact zone is still unknown. In this study, we aimed to reveal the limits of the ranges of the two species in Turkey by using nuclear (ITS-1, photolyase) and mitochondrial markers (COI). Multilocus molecular characterization of the two species showed for the first …

A Comparative Study Of The Reproductive Activities Of European Hare (Lepus Europaeus) Populations In Turkey, Yasi̇n Demi̇rbaş, İrfan Albayrak
Turkish Journal of Zoology
To explore whether the reproductive cycle of Lepus europaeus differs within Turkey, a total of 182 hares from Turkish Thrace (transition climate), Central Anatolia (continental climate), the Black Sea (oceanic climate), and the Turkish Mediterranean (Mediterranean climate) were collected between June 2006 and September 2014. We present the length of breeding season, sex ratio, mean litter size, and testicle position of European hares distributed in Turkey for the first time. Among these features, length of breeding season and mean litter size of European hares showed moderate variation in Turkey.
New Locality Records Of Eumeces Schneideri (Daudin, 1802) (Sauria: Scincidae) From Western Anatolia, Turkey, Keri̇m Çi̇çek, Oğuzkan Cumhuri̇yet, Yusuf Bayrakci, Di̇nçer Ayaz
New Locality Records Of Eumeces Schneideri (Daudin, 1802) (Sauria: Scincidae) From Western Anatolia, Turkey, Keri̇m Çi̇çek, Oğuzkan Cumhuri̇yet, Yusuf Bayrakci, Di̇nçer Ayaz
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, we report 2 new close localities for Eumeces schneideri from Aydın, western Anatolia, Turkey. The specimens were examined morphologically and compared with the relevant literature. These new localities have filled in the gap in the species' distribution range in western Anatolia, Turkey. According to the morphological results, the female specimens resembled E. S. Barani in terms of the scales along the dorsal midline. However, the color-pattern characteristics of the specimens were found to be somewhere between E. S. Barani and E. S. Princeps; thus, the specimens were accepted as E. S. Cf. Barani.

Turkish Journal of Zoology
The rocky mouse, Apodemus mystacinus, is a rodent species distributed in Anatolia. A total of 108 specimens from 19 localities in Turkey were collected to study the molecular variation of A. Mystacinus inferred from RFLP of mtDNA cytochrome b (cytb) and D-loop. MboI, HaeIII, and RsaI from cytb digestion and MboI, BfaI, and HinfI from D-loop digestion showed differentiation among the studied specimens. The UPGMA dendrogram of the combined data of cytb and D-loop indicated 3 main clades, A. M. Euxinus, A. M. Mystacinus, and A. M. Smyrnensis, distributed in Turkey. The haplotype diversity observed in the present study was …
