Orthotomicus Tridentatus Eggers: Distribution And Biology In Cedar Forests Of Turkey, Mustafa Avci, Oğuzhan Sarikaya
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Orthotomicus tridentatus Eggers, 1921 (Col.: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) is the most important forest pest of cedar stands in Turkey. Yet, very little is known about its distribution and biology. Therefore, the distribution and biological characteristics of O. tridentatus were studied in the Taurus Mountains in southern Turkey between 2006 and 2008. It was determined to be a species common to all cedar forests. The length of adults was between 2.5 and 3.9 mm and the main galleries were 'S' shaped. O. tridentatus was determined to be a monophagus species for Cedrus libani A. Rich. and as endemic to Turkey. It was …
Pollen And Seed Morphology Of The Genus Hesperis L. (Brassicaceae) In Turkey, Münevver Pinar, Ahmet Duran, Tali̇p Çeter, G. Ni̇lhan Tuğ
Pollen And Seed Morphology Of The Genus Hesperis L. (Brassicaceae) In Turkey, Münevver Pinar, Ahmet Duran, Tali̇p Çeter, G. Ni̇lhan Tuğ
Turkish Journal of Botany
Pollen and seed morphology were examined in 35 specimens representing 25 Turkish species of the taxonomically complex genus Hesperis L. by light and scanning electron microscopes. Three main types and 2 subtypes were recognized based on the seed coat surface, pollen shape, and exine sculpturing. The seed coat ornamentation of Type I was ocellate, and pollen shape was oblate-spheroidal. While Type II was represented by reticulate seed coat and prolate-spheroidal pollen shape, Type III had tuberculate seed coat. This study revealed that both palynological and seed morphological characters are of significant importance in the taxonomy of the genus.
Morphology And Infraciliature Of Some Haptorid Ciliates (Protista, Ciliophora, Haptoria) In Alkaline Soil Samples Of Van (Turkey), With Notes On The Ontogenesis Of Enchelyodon Nodosus Berger, Foissner & Adam, 1984, Naci̇ye Gülkiz Şenler, İsmai̇l Yildiz
Morphology And Infraciliature Of Some Haptorid Ciliates (Protista, Ciliophora, Haptoria) In Alkaline Soil Samples Of Van (Turkey), With Notes On The Ontogenesis Of Enchelyodon Nodosus Berger, Foissner & Adam, 1984, Naci̇ye Gülkiz Şenler, İsmai̇l Yildiz
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The morphology and infraciliature of 4 haptorid ciliates obtained from alkaline soil habitats in Van, Turkey, were investigated: Pseudoholophrya terricola Berger, Foissner & Adam, 1984, Paraenchelys wenzeli Foissner, 1984, Armatoenchelys geleii (Foissner, 1981), and Enchelyodon nodosus Berger, Foissner & Adam, 1984. The descriptions were based on live observations and silver impregnated specimens and morphometry. The main morphological characteristics of these species are similar to those described in the literature. However, the dorsal brush row 3 is longer than dorsal brush rows 1 and 2 in A. geleii, and E. nodosus has a long monokinetidal tail not reported previously. This is …
Morphologic Deformation In A Ray: A Case Report, Gülnur Meti̇n, Akin Türker İlkyaz, H. Tuncay Kinacigi̇l
Morphologic Deformation In A Ray: A Case Report, Gülnur Meti̇n, Akin Türker İlkyaz, H. Tuncay Kinacigi̇l
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study presents the data from a morphologic deformation diagnosis of a speckled ray (Raja polystigma Regan, 1923) individual which was sampled from İzmir Bay. Deformation was located on the head part of the specimen and no deformation was observed in other body regions.
