Taxonomical And Chorological Notes On The Turkish Endemic Scorzonera Amasiana Hausskn. & Bornm. (Asteraceae), Muhi̇tti̇n Di̇nç, Yavuz Bağci
Taxonomical And Chorological Notes On The Turkish Endemic Scorzonera Amasiana Hausskn. & Bornm. (Asteraceae), Muhi̇tti̇n Di̇nç, Yavuz Bağci
Turkish Journal of Botany
Scorzonera amasiana Hausskn. & Bornm. is a stenoendemic species known from a few localities in Amasya Province. After the rediscovery of S. amasiana, it has been recorded from a new locality in Amasya. Using chorological and ecological data, morphological study of the collected specimens suggest that the recently described Scorzonera ekimii A.Duran is synonymous with S. amasiana. The conservation status of S. amasiana is also reviewed, based on the present distribution data.

Ornithogalum Nurdaniae (Liliaceae), A New Species From North-West Anatolia, Turkey, Yavuz Bağci, Ahmet Savran, İsa Başköse
Turkish Journal of Botany
Ornithogalum nurdaniae Y.Bağcı & Savran sp. nov. (Liliaceae), a new species related to O. oligophyllum E.D.Clarke, is described and illustrated from Uludağ (the Bithynian Olympus), a mountain in NW Anatolia well known for its rich flora and many local endemics (A2 Bursa province). Diagnostic morphological characters are discussed. Notes are also presented on the ecology, biogeography, and conservation status of the new species.

Macrofungi Of Huzurlu High Plateau (Gaziantep-Turkey), Abdullah Kaya
Turkish Journal of Botany
Macrofungi samples were collected from Huzurlu high plateau and its surroundings between 2002 and 2005. As a result of macroscopic and microscopic investigations 105 taxa belonging to 67 genera and 33 families were recorded in Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes classes. Six of them, Phaeohelotium umbilicatum (Le Gal) Dennis, Lepiota jacobi Vellinga & Knudsen, Leucoagaricus erioderma (Malençon) Bon, Leucoagaricus serenus (Fr.) Bon & Boiffard, Cortinarius turgidus Fr., and Cotylidia diaphana (Schwein.) Lentz, are new records for the macromycota of Turkey.

A New Centaurea L. (Asteraceae) Species From Turkey, Tuna Uysal, Yavuz Bülent Köse
Turkish Journal of Botany
A new Centaurea L. (Asteraceae) species from Turkey is described and illustrated. Centaurea dursunbeyensis Uysal & Köse exists on limestone crevices in ancient Dursunbey Forest (Balikesir) in western Anatolia. It belongs to C. sect. Phalolepis (Cass.) DC., and taxonomically its closest relatives are C. aphrodisea Boiss. and C. cadmea Boiss. Diagnostic morphological characters from very similar taxa are provided, and a key is provided that includes related species of sect. Phalolepis from Turkey. The geographical distribution of the new species and species of other related taxa of the same section are mapped. The chromosome number of C. dursunbeyensis, 2n = …

Review Of The Ichthyofaunal Changes In Lake Eğirdir Between 1915 And 2007, Fahretti̇n Küçük, Hasan M. Sari, Orhan Demi̇r, İskender Gülle
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The ichthyofaunal changes in Lake Eğirdir between 1915 and 2007 were reviewed. It was understood that the most drastic change in the ichthyofauna of Lake Eğirdir occurred in 1955 with the introduction of pike-perch (Sander lucioperca), and that the process of change continued with the addition of Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio) in 1996 and big scale sand smelt (Atherina boyeri) in 2003. Today, there are 15 fish taxa (10 native, 5 non-native) in Lake Eğirdir. It was determined that, among the endemic species of Lake Eğirdir, Handlirsch^{'}s minnow (Pseudophoxinus handlirschi) is extinct (EX), Ereğli minnow (Hemigrammocapoeta kemali) disappeared, and Eğirdir …
