Turkish Journal of Chemistry
A new ligand, 2,5-bis(furan-2-ylmethylcarbamoyl)terephthalic acid (BFMTA), was synthesized using 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (pyromellitic dianhydride-PMDA) with furan-2-ylmethanamine (2-furfurylamine). New coordination polymers of the ligand (BFMTA) were also prepared using transition metal ions Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) metal salts. The coordination polymers and ligand were characterized by physico-chemical characteristics, magnetic susceptibilities, spectroscopic investigations, and thermogravimetry. Antimicrobial activity was tested using the agar-plate method against various strains of bacteria and spores of fungi. The results showed significantly higher antimicrobial activity of coordination polymers compared to the ligand.

Turkish Journal of Botany
Seed micromorphology of 20 species of Minuartia L. (Caryophyllaceae) that represent 2 different subgenera (i.e. Minuartia subgen. Spergella (Fenzl) McNeill and Minuartia subgen. Minuartia) were examined using scanning electron microscopy. Some qualitative and quantitative characters such as seed length and width, seed shape, cell shape, and cell ornamentations were studied. The results showed that seed micromorphology might provide useful tools in recognition and separation of Minuartia hamata (Hausskn.) Mattf. from other species of sect. Minuartia. Minuartia khorassanica Assadi & Mostafavi, a recently described species from Iran, is another species that micromorphologically was quite different. The species M. juniperina (L.) Maire …

Passer Hispaniolensis Subpopulations In Turkey: Allozyme Variations And Brief Ecobiological Notes, Fulya Saygili, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, Spanish Sparrows were recorded in numerous locations and specimens were collected from Samsun, Çorum, and Denizli provinces in Turkey. The breeding subpopulations preferred various nesting sites, including wooded areas and White Stork nests. These sparrows were primarily observed in flocks of variable size and were rarely solitary. The largest flock recorded was found in juniper and pine woods in Denizli. We collected data on 23 allozyme loci to compare the genetic variation among the 3 Spanish Sparrow subpopulations. The low F_{ST} (0.1363) and high Nm (1.5842) values calculated from these data indicated that gene flow among the …
