Heterochromatin Distribution And Localization Of Nors In The 2n = 48cytotypes Of Nannospalax Xanthodon And N. Ehrenbergi, Ati̇lla Arslan, Jan Zima Jan 2017

Heterochromatin Distribution And Localization Of Nors In The 2n = 48cytotypes Of Nannospalax Xanthodon And N. Ehrenbergi, Ati̇lla Arslan, Jan Zima

Turkish Journal of Zoology

We compared the C-banding pattern and the NOR distribution in 3 populations of N. xanthodon and N. ehrenbergi with 48 chromosomes from Turkey, with the aim to reveal variations between and within species. We have found distinct variation in the C-banding and the NOR distribution pattern among the 3 populations compared; each of them possessed its own specific chromosomal features. However, it is not possible to distinguish between intra- and interspecific variation, and the observed patterns cannot be utilized for unequivocal species recognition.

A new species, Dysderocrates tanatmisi sp. n., is described on the basis of both sexes from the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Herein, we present the morphological and diagnostic characters and illustrations of the genitalia of both the male and female members of this species.


Syntaxonomical Analysis Of The Riparian Vegetation Of The Porsuk River (Eskişehir-Kütahya/Turkey), Ebru Özdeni̇z, Lati̇f Kurt, Erwin Bergmeier Jan 2017

Syntaxonomical Analysis Of The Riparian Vegetation Of The Porsuk River (Eskişehir-Kütahya/Turkey), Ebru Özdeni̇z, Lati̇f Kurt, Erwin Bergmeier

Turkish Journal of Botany

This study is about the classification and syntaxonomic allocation of the riparian vegetation of the Porsuk River (Eskişehir-Kütahya, western part of Central Anatolia). The Porsuk is part of the Sakarya River basin and is the longest tributary of the Sakarya River. The data were collected using the phytosociological method of Braun-Blanquet and analyzed using TWINSPAN classification and NMDS ordination. Ten syntaxa were identified, all of which are more or less widespread in the nemoral and meridional zone. The woody alluvial vegetation of the study area comprises the associations Salicetum albae, Populetum albae, and Elymo-Rubetum caesii. The riparian reed bed vegetation …
