This study is based on macrofungal specimens collected from Buldan district (Denizli) in 2006. As a result of field and laboratory studies, 3 new records of macrofungi species were determined for Turkey. These are Otidea bufonia (Pers.) Boud., Hebeloma cavipes Huijsman, and Russula nauseosa (Pers.) Fr.
A New Species Of Silene L. (Caryophyllaceae) From South Anatolia, Turkey, Yavuz Bağci
A New Species Of Silene L. (Caryophyllaceae) From South Anatolia, Turkey, Yavuz Bağci
Turkish Journal of Botany
Silene duralii Y. Bağcı sp. nov. from Ermenek-Kazancı (C4: Karaman province) is described and illustrated. It is closely related to S. capillipes Boiss. & Heldr., from which it differs mainly in its hairiness, leaves, and floral features. Diagnostic morphological characters are discussed and the diagnostic key for related Silene L. species, which are widespread in Turkey, is reorganized. The geographical distribution of the new species and other related species were mapped. Notes are also presented on its ecology, and biogeographical and conservation status. Chromosome count for S. duralii was 2n = 24. In addition, the seed coat surface of S. …

Turkish Journal of Botany
This study is based on macrofungi collected from Karcı Mountain (Denizli) between 2000 and 2002. As a result of field and laboratory studies, 66 taxa belonging to 2 classes (Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes) and 25 families are reported. Leucopaxillus tricolor (Peck) Kühner was added to the Turkish mycoflora as a new record.
Comparative Morphological, Anatomical, And Palynological Studies On The Genus Stachys L. Sect. Ambleia Bentham (Lamiaceae) Species In Turkey, Muhi̇tti̇n Di̇nç, Meryem Öztürk
Comparative Morphological, Anatomical, And Palynological Studies On The Genus Stachys L. Sect. Ambleia Bentham (Lamiaceae) Species In Turkey, Muhi̇tti̇n Di̇nç, Meryem Öztürk
Turkish Journal of Botany
In this study, comparative morphological, anatomical and palynological studies of Stachys L. sect. Ambleia Bentham species (Lamiaceae) in Turkey are carried out on the plants collected from their type localities. These species are Stachys cydni Kotschy ex Gemici & Leblebici and S. yildirimlii M. Dinç, which are highly local endemics. Morphologically, micromorphological features of the trichomes are studied. Trichome morphology appears to have a taxonomic value with respect to the results. The anatomical studies on cross-sections of stems, leaves, and surface sections of leaves are presented. According to the anatomical comparison between the 2 species, the pith structure of the …

A New Species Of Gagea Salisb. (Liliaceae) From Sivas (Central Anatolia, Turkey), Ergi̇n Hamzaoğlu, Ümi̇t Budak, Ahmet Aksoy
Turkish Journal of Botany
Gagea sivasica Hamzaoğlu (Liliaceae) is described as a new species from Sivas province (Central Anatolia, Turkey). A Latin diagnosis, a taxonomic description, an illustration of the new species, and some comments on geographical distribution and its affinity to Gagea chlorantha Schult.f. are given.
Taxonomy And Threatened Categories Of Three Achillea L. (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) Species Previously Cited In The Data Deficient (Dd) Category, Turan Arabaci, Bayram Yildiz
Taxonomy And Threatened Categories Of Three Achillea L. (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) Species Previously Cited In The Data Deficient (Dd) Category, Turan Arabaci, Bayram Yildiz
Turkish Journal of Botany
This study presents the taxonomy and threatened categories of 3 Achillea L. (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) species: A. membranacea (Labill.) DC., A. brachyphylla Boiss. & Hausskn., and A. boissieri Hausskn. ex Boiss. These species belong to sect. Babounya (DC.) O.Hoffm. and were previously placed in the data deficient (DD) category in the Red Data Book of Turkish Plants. Descriptions, localities, distribution map, and images of the species are given. Threatened categories of the species were determined as A. membranacea in VU, and A. brachyphylla and A. boissieri in EN.

The Natural History Of The Egyptian Fruit Bat, Rousettus Aegyptiacus, In Turkey (Mammalia: Chiroptera), İrfan Albayrak, Nursel Aşan, Tarkan Yorulmaz
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Aspects of the ecology, karyology, and taxonomic status of the Egyptian fruit bat, Rousettus aegyptiacus, in the Mediterranean region of Turkey were investigated based on 41 specimens obtained between 1977 and 2003. Distribution, external and cranial morphometrics, pelage coloration, baculum morphology, karyology, colony size, roosting and feeding ecology, and conservation and management issues were recorded. The fruit bat in Turkey is represented by the nominate subspecies, R. a. aegyptiacus. Sexual dimorphism was recorded in pelage coloration and morphometric data. The diploid number of chromosomes (2n) is 36. Records of feeding behavior were obtained from both field and laboratory studies. Seasonal …

The Genus Sinantherina Bory De St. Vincent, 1826, A New Record For The Turkish Rotifer Fauna, Murat Kaya, Ahmet Altindağ, Göksal Sezen
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Rotifera species collected from a pool (Çeltikli village, Bismil, Diyarbakır) 22 km from Bismil to Batman were surveyed taxonomically. Eighteen rotifer species were identified. Two of these species, Sinantherina semibullata (Thorpe, 1889) and Cephalodella megalocephala (Glasscott), 1893, as well as the genus Sinantherina Bory de St. Vincent, 1826, are new records for the Turkish rotifer fauna.
