A Study On The Chalcidoid (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) Parasitoids Of Leafminers (Diptera: Agromyzidae) In Ankara Province, Lütfi̇ye Gençer
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The objective of this study was to determine parasitoids attacking leafminers (Agromyzidae: Diptera) in Ankara province. Seven parasitoids species belonging to the Eulophidae (Chalcidoidea) were found. These species were Diglyphus iseae (Walker), D. chabrias (Walker), Neochyrsocharis formosa (Westwood), N. arvensis Graham, Pediobius acantha (Walker), Chrysocharis sp. and Hemiptarsenus sp. Of these, D. isaea, N. formosa and N. arvensis were found to be the most common parasitoids of leafminers. Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), Chromatomyia horticola (Goureau) and Phytomyza lappae Goureau putatively appeared to be the host species. However, parasitoids were only reared from the first two species. The last species from which …

Comparison Of Female Antennules In Some Genera Of Cyclopidae (Copepoda, Cyclopoida): Their Significance For Phylogeny, Süphan Karaytuğ, Serdar Sak, Alp Alper
Comparison Of Female Antennules In Some Genera Of Cyclopidae (Copepoda, Cyclopoida): Their Significance For Phylogeny, Süphan Karaytuğ, Serdar Sak, Alp Alper
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The homology of the antennulary segments of species belonging to some genera of Cyclopidae is determined by comparing the common setation patterns on female antennules. Comparison of the setation pattern has confirmed that there are always 44 setae and 3 aesthetascs on the female antennules of all the genera examined. This study shows that the strict application of homology is essential in order to resolve the phylogenetic relationships between the genera of Cyclopidae. Although both Ectocyclops phaleratus and Paracyclops canadensis have 11-segmented antennules, the analysis of segmental homologies has shown that the 11-segmented condition has occurred due to convergent evolution …

Zebra Mussel And Fouling Problems In The Euphrates Basin, Alaeddi̇n Bobat, Mehmet Oğuz Hengi̇rmen, Walter Zapletal
Zebra Mussel And Fouling Problems In The Euphrates Basin, Alaeddi̇n Bobat, Mehmet Oğuz Hengi̇rmen, Walter Zapletal
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The Zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha Pallas, is one of the most important fouling organisms in freshwater ecosystems. Infestations by Zebra mussels have caused chronic problems in both raw water(incoming water into facilities) intakes and man-made structures such as water treatment facilities, power plants and industrial facilities. In the mid-1980s, this pest, a species nonindigenous to North American freshwaters, was introduced into the Great Lakes of North America. This introduction probably occurred by means of the ballast water of a transoceanic ship, and concern has focused again on this nuisance and its impact. Recently, the Zebra mussel, a species native to …

Faunistic And Morphological Studies On Ciliates (Protozoa, Ciliophora) From A Small Pond, With Responses Of Ciliate Populations To Changing Environmental Conditions, Naci̇ye Gülkiz Şenler, İsmai̇l Yildiz
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Sixty-nine ciliate species were identified in 19 samples from a small pond covered by Lemna minor in Van, Turkey. Statistical analysis was employed to examine the relationships between ciliates and the physical and biological parameters. Total ciliate abundance appears to be related mainly with physical and biological factors such as the dissolved oxygen in the bottom layer and the volume of Lemna and temperature in the surface layer. Some species were investigated in detail using live observation, silver impregnation, and morphometry.

Implications Of Locus Specific Microevolution Inferred By Genetic Distances Between Two Local Populations Of Drosophila Melanogaster From Turkey, Ergi̇ Deni̇z Özsoy
Implications Of Locus Specific Microevolution Inferred By Genetic Distances Between Two Local Populations Of Drosophila Melanogaster From Turkey, Ergi̇ Deni̇z Özsoy
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The standard genetic distances were calculated with 3 allozyme loci in 2 local populations of Drosophila melanogaster from Turkey. One of the distances, i.e. obtained with alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh), was completely different from the distances with the other 2 allozyme loci, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (\alphaGpdh) and cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (Mdh1), leading to a statistically significant inflation in the cumulated distance value obtained over the 3 loci. It is shown that this final significant value was caused by the significant difference in allelic frequencies at the Adh loci across local populations. Implications of the different genetic distances in 2 local populations are …

Introducing A New Approach To Estimating Red Meat Production In Turkey, Fahri̇ Yavuz, Carl R. Zulauf
Introducing A New Approach To Estimating Red Meat Production In Turkey, Fahri̇ Yavuz, Carl R. Zulauf
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
A common concern with official estimates of red meat production in Turkey is that they underestimate the level of production. One of the frequently cited reasons is that unregulated slaughter is undercounted. This study uses an estimation method based on the biology of red meat production to examine the potential impact of this undercounting. The production estimates obtained for 1991-1998 using this biological-based method exceed the numbers estimated by official organizations, but fall within the range of estimates obtained from other proposed approaches to estimating red meat production.
