Assessment Of The Sensitivity And Death Rates Of Adults Of Graphosoma Lineatum (Linnaeus, 1758) Fed Chlorocholine Chloride, A Plant Growth Inhibitor, Under Laboratory Conditions, Mohsen Yazdanian, Reza Farshbaf Pour Abad
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The side effects of chlorocholine chloride, a plant growth inhibitor, on adults of Graphosoma lineatum were studied under laboratory conditions. In the study, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000 and 1500 ppm of chlorocholine chloride in distilled water were applied. Chlorocholine chloride had killing effects on adults of G. lineatum. A 100% mortality of the male adults was observed after feeding 750, 1000 and 1500 ppm of the compound, whereas a 100% mortality of the females occurred with 1000 and 1500 ppm of the feeding compound. This study also showed that the sensitivity of the male adult insects to chlorocholine chloride …

Food Of The Banded Newt, Triturus Vittatus Ophryticus (Berthold, 1846), At Different Sites In Trabzon, Bi̇lal Kutrup, Emel Çakir, Nurhayat Yilmaz
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The diet of the banded newt, Triturus vittatus ophryticus, from 3 different sites in northern Turkey was studied based on stomach contents from 180 samples (104 males + 76 females). The banded newt was found to forage on wide variety of prey organisms in the aquatic phase. Benthic invertebrates consistently made the greatest contribution to the diet, both numerically and volumetrically. Nektonic prey also appeared to be of importance in terms of volume but constituted few items. Terrestrial invertebrates contributed very little to the diet. In addition to invertebrates, a few amphibian prey items were found in the stomachs. The …
