Phylogeny And New Intrageneric Classification Of Allium (Alliaceae) Based On Nuclear Ribosomal Dna Its Sequences, Nikolai Friesen, Reinhard M. Fritsch, Frank R. Blattner
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
The internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA was sequenced from 195 representative species of Allium, two species of Nothoscordum, and one species each of lpheion, Dichelostemma, and Tulbaghia. Within the Allium species the lengths of the ITS regions were in a range from 612 to 661 base pairs and pairwise genetic distances reached up to 46%. The ITS data supported the inclusion of Nectaroscordum, Caloscordum, and Milula into Allium. Subgenera Rhizirideum and Allium, as well as sects. Reticulatobulbosa and Oreiprason were non-monophyletic taxa. Based on the phylogenetic relations, a new classification of genus Allium consisting of 15 …

Contribution To The Knowledge Of The Free-Living Isopods Of The Aegean Sea Coast Of Turkey, Fevzi̇ Kirkim, Ahmet Kocataş, Tuncer Katağan, Murat Sezgi̇n
Turkish Journal of Zoology
This research was carried out along the Turkish Aegean Sea coast (from Saros Bay in the north to Turunç-Marmaris in the south) in order to determine the Isopod fauna. A total of 163 samplings were conducted at 23 stations and 17 different biotopes, from which 3209 specimens were collected belonging to 18 families, 29 genera and 50 species. Among the species determined, 18 are new records for the Turkish fauna (Anthura gracilis, Apanthura corsica, Asellus aquaticus, Janiropsis breviremis, Uromunna petiti, Cirolana cranchii, Eurydice affinis, E. inermis, E. pulchra, Cymodoce hanseni, Dynamene bifida, Ischyromene lacazei, Lekanesphaera monodi, Sphaeroma pulchellum, Emetha audouinii, …

Distribution And Ecology Of Freshwater Ichthyofauna Of The Biga Peninsula, North-Western Anatolia, Turkey, Hasan Musa Sari, Süleyman Balik, Mustafa Ruşen Ustaoğlu, Ali̇ İlhan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
This research was carried out at 35 stations in 16 different streams on the Biga Peninsula during the spring and summer of 2000 and 2001 to determine the freshwater ichthyofauna and community features. In addition, some physical and chemical parameters of the streams were determined in their natural environment. Fourteen taxa belonging to 5 families were determined. Leuciscus cephalus, Petroleuciscus borysthenicus, Rhodeus amarus, Phoxinus phoxinus, Chalcalburnus chalcoides, Barbus tauricus escherichi, Gobio gobio, Capoeta capoeta bergamae, Vimba vimba, Cobitis fahirae and Neogobius fluviatilis are recorded for the first time from the Biga Peninsula. The most abundant species in the study area …
Ferula Parva Freyn & Bornm. (Apiaceae): A Contribution To An Enigmatic Species From Turkey, Mehmet Sağiroğlu, Hayri̇ Duman
Ferula Parva Freyn & Bornm. (Apiaceae): A Contribution To An Enigmatic Species From Turkey, Mehmet Sağiroğlu, Hayri̇ Duman
Turkish Journal of Botany
Ferula parva Freyn & Bornm. was first collected from Central Anatolia (Turkey B5 Kayseri-Yozgat in declivibus apricis inter Kayseri et Yozgat, 1890) by Bornmüller. No specimens belonging to this species have been collected since the type and Andrasovszky specimens. When the Flora of Turkey was being prepared, Dr. H. Peşmen considered this species imperfectly known; therefore, it was not included in the keys. In the present paper, diagnostic morphological characters are discussed. In addition, its ecology, conservation status, SEM photographs of the surface of mericarps, and chromosome numbers are presented.
Contribution To The Taxonomical And Biological Characteristics Of Sciurus Anomalus In Turkey (Mammalia: Rodentia), İrfan Albayrak, Ati̇lla Arslan
Contribution To The Taxonomical And Biological Characteristics Of Sciurus Anomalus In Turkey (Mammalia: Rodentia), İrfan Albayrak, Ati̇lla Arslan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
This study is based on 62 Sciurus anomalus specimens obtained from Konya, Karaman, Kütahya and Çorum provinces between 1997 and 2002. Some ecological and biological features of the species, including habitat, nest-sites, fur colour, baculum and phallus were investigated. In this species, the chromosome number (2n) is 40. For the taxonomical evaluation of Sciurus anomalus, morphometric data of the specimens were used. The specimens were discussed at the subspecies level, comparing to the relevant literature, and it was concluded that our specimens represent the nominate form.
New Records And Description Of A New Subspecies For The Water Mite Fauna (Acari, Hydrachnidia) Of Turkey From The Eastern Black Sea Coast, Vladimir Pesic, Davut Turan
New Records And Description Of A New Subspecies For The Water Mite Fauna (Acari, Hydrachnidia) Of Turkey From The Eastern Black Sea Coast, Vladimir Pesic, Davut Turan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
A new subspecies, Mixobates brachypalpis ozkani subsp. nov., is described from a stream in the Rize region (Eastern Black Sea coast, Turkey). The new subspecies can be easily distinguished from the type material of M. brachypalpis, a species reported only from the locus typicus in Russia, by the more elongated and slender I-L-5/6. In addition, 3 water mite species (Torrenticola oraviensis (Láska, 1953), Torrenticola thori (Halbert, 1944) and Mideopsis roztoczensis Biesiadka and Kovalik, 1979) are reported for the first time from Turkey.

On The Taxonomy Of Plantaginaceae Juss. Sensu Lato: Evidence From Sem Of The Seed Coat, Azza Ahmed Shehata, Mohamed Hesham A. Loutfy
Turkish Journal of Botany
SEM of the seed coat was studied in 41 taxa of the Plantaginaceae sensu lato. The study included 31 taxa of Plantago L. and 10 taxa that were formerly assigned to the Scrophulariaceae, representing the genera Antirrhinum L., Digitalis L., Linaria Mill. and Veronica L. The obtained data were analysed by the NT sys-PC program package using the UPGMA clustering method. The study showed that Veronica possessed certain affinities to Plantago species, thus giving extra support to earlier views that Plantaginaceae sensu stricto and Scrophulariaceae sensu lato are allied through Veronica. The study also favoured the paraphyly of Plantago subgenus …
