The Structure Of Baculum In Myotis Myotis And Myotis Blythi (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) From Turkey, İrfan Albayrak, Nursel Aşan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
A comparison was made of the shape and size of the bacula of 32 Myotis myotis (Borkhausen, 1797) and 26 Myotis blythi (Tomes, 1857) collected from Turkey. It was determined that baculum size does not distinguish the two species but baculum shape distinguishes them.

New Rumen Ciliates From Turkish Domestic Cattle (Bos Taurus L.): 3. Entodinium Oektemae N. Sp. And Entodinium Imaii N. Sp. (Entodiniidae, Entodiniomorphida), Bayram Göçmen, Murat Tosunoğlu, Beri̇a Falakali Mutaf
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Certain entodiniid ciliates, somewhat different from those previously described (1), were observed the during examination of the rumen contents of 30 adult domestic cattle (Bos taurus L.) in the vicinity of Izmir. We propose that these new forms should be taxonomically named Entodinium oektemae n. sp. and Entodinium imaii n. sp. The frequencies Entodinium oektemae n. sp. and Entodinium imaii n. sp. were 6.67% 16.67% respectively. The main characteristics of these two species are described in detail and discussed in comparison with those of the previously reported ones.

Dynamic Behavior Of The Onion Price In Turkey, Hali̇l Fi̇dan, Ali̇ Koç
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
This study analyzes the onion market and the dynamic behavior of real onion prices in Turkey. The price responsiveness of the supply, demand and export of dry onions was determined. The equilibrium price for producers was derived using the market closing condition of the partial equilibrium model. Price flexibility was also estimated using wholesale market data. The results verified the existence of cyclical behavior of onion prices in the market. The elasticities evaluated at the sample mean were 0.26, -1.02, and -0.24 for supply, export demand and flexibility respectively. The household consumption data indicates that per capita consumption of onions …

Karyotype Of Eptesicus Serotinus (Schreber, 1774) In Turkey (Mammalia: Chiroptera), Nursel Aşan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In order to investigate the conventional karyotype of Eptesicus serotinus (Schreber, 1774) in Turkey, four specimens were karyotyped. It was determined that the diploid number was 2n=50, the number of autosomal arms was FN=50, the X chromosome was large submetacentric, and the Y chromosome was dot-like acrocentric and the smallest chromosome of the set. All of the autosomes were acrocentric. A secondary constriction on a medium-sized acrocentric pair was encountered in most of the metaphase spreads examined.
