A Taxonomic Study Of, And Key To, The Lecithoceridae (Lepidoptera) From Guizhou, China, Chunsheng Wu
A Taxonomic Study Of, And Key To, The Lecithoceridae (Lepidoptera) From Guizhou, China, Chunsheng Wu
The Taxonomic Report of the International Lepidoptera Survey
This paper provides a key to twelve species (in ten genera and three subfamilies) of Lecithoceridae from Guizhou Province, China. Among them, three species are unnamed and eight are new Guizhou Province records. The female of Opacoptera ecblasta Wu is known for the first time and its genitalia are illustrated for the first time.
Yuccas (Agavaceae) Of The International Four Corners: Southwestern Usa And Northwestern Mexico, Lee W. Lenz, Michael A. Hanson
Yuccas (Agavaceae) Of The International Four Corners: Southwestern Usa And Northwestern Mexico, Lee W. Lenz, Michael A. Hanson
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
Yuccas (Yucca, Agavaceae) are an easily recognizable constituent of the vegetation of the International Four Corners; an area made up of portions of Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora and Chihuahua. We recognize three species as native to the region, Yucca baccata, Y. elata and Y. madrensis, together with interspecific hybrids, and document for the first time naturally occurring intersectional hybridization between baccate-fruited (sect. Yucca) and capsular-fruited (sect. Chaenocarpa) species. We examine the reproductive barriers to hybridization operating within the genus, i.e., spatial, temporal and ethological, and we consider circumstances that may have been responsible for the production and …
Autophagomyces, Bordea, And A New Genus, Rossiomyces, (Laboulbeniales), Richard K. Benjamin
Autophagomyces, Bordea, And A New Genus, Rossiomyces, (Laboulbeniales), Richard K. Benjamin
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
A revision of Autophagomyces (Laboulbeniales) was made based on a comparative morphological study of new collections and 16 species included in the genus by Thaxter in the final volume of his monograph published in 1931 and by others more recently. The concept of Autophagomyces (species on Anthicidae, Phalacridae, and Scapidiidae [Coleoptera]) was narrowed and comprises 12 species, four of them new, i.e., A. hammondii, A. mexicanus, A. protuberans, and A. ramosus. The genus Bordea (species on Pselaphinae, Staphylinidae [Coleopteraj), which had been included in Autophagomyces by Thaxter, was reinstated and comprises 14 species, seven new, i.e., …
The South American Neritic Copepod Ctenocalanus Heronae Vega-Pérez And Bowman (Calanoida) In The Gulf Of Mexico, With Comments On The Taxonomy Of The Genus, E. Suarez-Morales, A. Leon-Oropeza
The South American Neritic Copepod Ctenocalanus Heronae Vega-Pérez And Bowman (Calanoida) In The Gulf Of Mexico, With Comments On The Taxonomy Of The Genus, E. Suarez-Morales, A. Leon-Oropeza
Gulf and Caribbean Research
A single adult female specimen of the calanoid copepod Ctenocalanus heronaeVega-Pérez and Bowman was collected during a zooplankton survey carried out in February 1997 in Campeche Sound, the central-southeastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico. The taxonomy of the genus Ctenocalanus Giesbrecht is still unclear. Characters used to separate the species have been considered rather subtle. In this paper the taxonomic illustrations of the specimen collected are accompanied by a revision of the taxonomic features commonly used to identify the species. New, previously overlooked characters such as the cephalosome/urosome ratio, the shape of the 5th legs and particularly the …

Of these, Heterocyprisrotundatais new addition to the Ostracoda fauna of Turkey.

Molecular Phylogeny Of Clade Iii Nematodes Reveals Multiple Origins Of Tissue Parasitism, Steven A. Nadler, R. A. Carreno, H. Mejía-Madrid, J. Ullberg, C. Pagan, R. Houston, Jean-Pierre Hugot
Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty and Staff Publications
Molecular phylogenetic analyses of 113 taxa representing Ascaridida, Rhigonematida, Spirurida and Oxyurida were used to infer a more comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis for representatives of ‘clade III’. The posterior probability of multiple alignment sites was used to exclude or weight characters, yielding datasets that were analysed using maximum parsimony, likelihood, and Bayesian inference methods. Phylogenetic results were robust to differences among inference methods for most high-level taxonomic groups, but some clades were sensitive to treatments of characters reflecting differences in alignment ambiguity. Taxa representing Camallanoidea, Oxyurida, Physalopteroidea, Raphidascarididae, and Skrjabillanidae were monophyletic in all 9 analyses whereas Ascaridida, Ascarididae, Anisakidae, Cosmocercoidea, …

A Taxonomical Study On The Rotifer Fauna Of Yedigöller (Bolu-Turkey), Ahmet Altindağ
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The study was carried out at Yedigöller (Turkey) between January and November, 1997. Thirty-one species of rotifers were identified, all of which were new for Yedigöller. Three species ( Dicronophorus caudatus, Synchaeta lokowitziana, Trichocerca bidens ) were new records for the Turkish fauna.

Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, material was collected from Lake Aksehir in the years 1997 to 1999. The materials, collected from six localities, were evaluated and eleven speceis (Ilyocypris biplicata, Ilyocypris gibba, Candona angulata, Candona compressa, Candona neglecta, Eucypris zenkeri, Cyprinotus salinus, Heterocypris incongruens, Ilyodromus olivaceus, Cypridopsis vidua, Limnocythere inopinata) belonging to eight genera were determined.
Lessepsian Fishes Spreading Along The Coasts Of The Mediterranean And The Southern Aegean Sea Of Turkey, Hati̇ce Torcu, Savaş Mater
Lessepsian Fishes Spreading Along The Coasts Of The Mediterranean And The Southern Aegean Sea Of Turkey, Hati̇ce Torcu, Savaş Mater
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The taxonomy and biological characters of 22 Lessepsian fishes living on the coasts of the Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean Sea were examined and 8 species were determined to have commercial importance. Of these, Upeneus moluccensis and Saurida undosquamis have become economic fishes of the Eastern Mediterranean trawl fisheries, having significant stocks. The species previously misidentified as Upeneus asymmetricus was determined to be Upeneus pori. It has been pointed out that new species can be added to the recorded ones by the consequent influx of Red Sea biota into the Levant.
Geographic Variations And Taxonomic Status Of Miniopterus Schreibersi (Kuhl, 1819) In Turkey (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), İrfan Albayrak, Şule Coşkun
Geographic Variations And Taxonomic Status Of Miniopterus Schreibersi (Kuhl, 1819) In Turkey (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), İrfan Albayrak, Şule Coşkun
Turkish Journal of Zoology
This study is a taxonomical revision of 257 specimens of Miniopterus schreibersi (Kuhl, 1819) collected from Turkey between 1974 and 1994. A total of 30 external and cranial measurements and weights and the ages of the specimens were determined. Diagnostic characters, habitat, and measurements of subspecies were recorded. The specimens collected in Turkey were evaluated by comparison with the nominate form distributed nearby, Miniopterus schreibersi pallidus Thomas, 1907, and synonyms. It was determined that both the nominate form and Miniopterus schreibersi pallidus exist in Turkey.

Taxonomy And Distribution Of The White Toothed Shrews Crocidura)(Soricidae: Insectivora: Mammalia) Of Turkey, Coşkun Tez
Turkish Journal of Zoology
A total of 359 samples were collected from different geographical regions in Turkey and the species boundaries of white toothed shrews (genus Crocidura) in Turkey were defined using morphological and karyological characteristics. According to these characteristics, it was determined that Crocidura leucodon with karyotype of 2n = 28 and FN = 56 and Crocidura suaveolens with karyotype of 2n = 40 and FN =50 are distributed in Turkey. In both species, the shape of the skull, the shapes and positions of incisive (I 1 ), premolar (P 4 ), molar (M 3 ), tail length, dorsal and ventral side colours …
