Studies On Pseudococcidae (Homoptera: Coccoidea) Fauna Of Afyon, Ankara, Burdur And Isparta Provinces, Turkey, Mehmet Bora Kaydan, Selma Ülgentürk, Cevdet Zeki̇, Seval Toros, M. Oktay Gürkan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Cultivated and non-cultivated areas were surveyed between 1999 and 2000 for coccoid fauna in Ankara, Afyon, Burdur and Isparta provinces. Nineteen species from 11 genera belonging to Pseudococcidae were found. Among these Chaetococcus phragmitis (Marchal, 1909), Phenacoccus bicerarius Borchsenius, 1949, Phenacoccus evelinae Tereznikova, 1968, Puto pilosellae (Sulc, 1898), Puto superbus (Leonardi, 1907), Rhodania porifera Goux, 1935, and Spinococcus morrisoni (Kritchenko, 1935) were new records for Turkish fauna.

A First Record For The Bighead Goby (Neogobius Kessleri Günther, 1861) Along The Turkish Eastern Black Sea Coast, Süleyman Balik, Davut Turan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The, bighead goby is reported for the first time from the Turkish Eastern Black Sea coast in Kale (Taşlı ) Stream (Rize), Erenler Stream (Çayeli-Rize), Kantarlı Stream (Pazar-Rize), Fırtına Stream (Ardeşen-Rize), Işıklı Stream (Ardeşen-Rize), Çağlayan Stream (Fındıklı-Rize) and Yeşil Stream (Fındıklı-Rize). A total of 70 individuals from different sampling stations were caught by an electro-shocker.

Implications Of Locus Specific Microevolution Inferred By Genetic Distances Between Two Local Populations Of Drosophila Melanogaster From Turkey, Ergi̇ Deni̇z Özsoy
Implications Of Locus Specific Microevolution Inferred By Genetic Distances Between Two Local Populations Of Drosophila Melanogaster From Turkey, Ergi̇ Deni̇z Özsoy
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The standard genetic distances were calculated with 3 allozyme loci in 2 local populations of Drosophila melanogaster from Turkey. One of the distances, i.e. obtained with alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh), was completely different from the distances with the other 2 allozyme loci, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (\alphaGpdh) and cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (Mdh1), leading to a statistically significant inflation in the cumulated distance value obtained over the 3 loci. It is shown that this final significant value was caused by the significant difference in allelic frequencies at the Adh loci across local populations. Implications of the different genetic distances in 2 local populations are …

A Study On The Chalcidoid (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) Parasitoids Of Leafminers (Diptera: Agromyzidae) In Ankara Province, Lütfi̇ye Gençer
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The objective of this study was to determine parasitoids attacking leafminers (Agromyzidae: Diptera) in Ankara province. Seven parasitoids species belonging to the Eulophidae (Chalcidoidea) were found. These species were Diglyphus iseae (Walker), D. chabrias (Walker), Neochyrsocharis formosa (Westwood), N. arvensis Graham, Pediobius acantha (Walker), Chrysocharis sp. and Hemiptarsenus sp. Of these, D. isaea, N. formosa and N. arvensis were found to be the most common parasitoids of leafminers. Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), Chromatomyia horticola (Goureau) and Phytomyza lappae Goureau putatively appeared to be the host species. However, parasitoids were only reared from the first two species. The last species from which …

A Morphological Study On The Venom Apparatus Of The Spider Agelena Labyrinthica (Araneae, Agelenidae), Nazi̇fe Yi̇ği̇t, Turan Güven, Abdullah Bayram, Külti̇ği̇n Çavuşoğlu
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The morphology of the venom apparatus of the spider Agelena labyrinthica was studied using scanning electron microscopy. The venom apparatus, situated in the anterior of the prosoma, is composed of a pair of chelicerae and venom glands. Each chelicera consists of two parts, a stout basal segment covered by hair, and a movable articulated fang. There are regular, parallel fine grooves on the surface of the cheliceral fang. The venom pore is situated on the subterminal portion of the fang. All of the venom glands are the same size and are shaped like long tubes. Each gland is surrounded by …

Turkish Journal of Zoology
Two trichodina species, Trichodina puytoraci Lom, 1962 and Trichodina lepsii Lom, 1962, were identified for the first time on Mugil cephalus L., 1758 and Liza aurata Risso, 1810 caught in the Black Sea off Sinop in Turkey. Both parasite species were found to be specific for Mugilids and were not encountered on any other fish species found in the same sampling site. While the infestation prevalence (%) and mean intensity level were 100% and 188.5 ± 56.3 trichodina per infested fish, respectively, for M. cephalus, they were 40.6% and 5.46 ± 1.07 trichodina per infested fish for L. aurata.
