Rotifers Of Southwest Iran: A Faunistic And Biogeographical Study, Raheleh Reihan Reshteh, Hassan Rahimian
Rotifers Of Southwest Iran: A Faunistic And Biogeographical Study, Raheleh Reihan Reshteh, Hassan Rahimian
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The fauna of freshwater rotifers from Khuzestan Province (Southwest Iran) was expected to be different from that of the rest of Iran because of its geographical position, past geological events, climatic conditions, and similarities to neighboring zoogeographical areas. To test this hypothesis, we first had to determine the rotifer fauna of Khuzestan and then compare it with the results of surveys from other parts of Iran as well as with those from neighboring regions. Samples were collected from 10 sites throughout the province from May 2009 to April 2010. During the study, 66 species were identified, mostly with distribution in …
Phoretic Mites In Uni- And Bivoltine Populations Of Ips Typographus: A 1-Year Case Study, Martin Cejka, Jaroslav Holusa
Phoretic Mites In Uni- And Bivoltine Populations Of Ips Typographus: A 1-Year Case Study, Martin Cejka, Jaroslav Holusa
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Members of the order Mesostigmata frequently use other animals to colonize suitable habitats, and thus their phoretic exploitation of bark beetles is not exceptional. We compared the abundance and species spectrum of phoretic mites in univoltine and bivoltine populations of the European spruce bark beetle Ips typographus. Two localities with high population densities of Ips typographus in the eastern part of the Czech Republic (400 and 1100 m a.s.l.) were studied. Beetles were sampled with pheromone traps baited with IT Ecolure (5 per locality). In total, 1268 I. typographus individuals were captured, from which 1662 mite individuals were collected and …
Embryonic Development Of The Olive Fruit Fly, Bactrocera Oleae Rossi (Diptera: Tephritidae), In Vivo, Hani̇fe Genç
Embryonic Development Of The Olive Fruit Fly, Bactrocera Oleae Rossi (Diptera: Tephritidae), In Vivo, Hani̇fe Genç
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a pest that infests olive fruits. The female oviposits in large green olives and larvae hatch inside the fruit, where they feed upon the fruit tissues. Larval development is completed inside the fruit. These flies cause great damage to olive production worldwide. Traditionally, insecticides have been directed against the adult stage, but the results are not efficient. This present work is a study of embryogenesis in the olive fruit fly. The external morphology of the Bactrocera oleae Rossi (Diptera: Tephritidae) egg is described from light microscopy without dechorionation. The observations …
Effect Of Reed Burning And Precipitation On The Breeding Success Of Great Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus Arundinaceus, On A Mining Pond, Thomas Oliver Méro, Antun Zuljevic, Katalin Varga, Renata Bocz, Szabolcs Lengyel
Effect Of Reed Burning And Precipitation On The Breeding Success Of Great Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus Arundinaceus, On A Mining Pond, Thomas Oliver Méro, Antun Zuljevic, Katalin Varga, Renata Bocz, Szabolcs Lengyel
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, we present the effects of reed burning and precipitation on the breeding success of Great Reed Warblers on a mining pond (2008-2011). Breeding success, i.e. the probability that an egg would produce a fledgling, was 0.43. Clutch survival was lowest in 2010, due to the precipitation and high water level during the season. Breeding success was higher in the second half of the breeding season, although in 2008 and 2011 precipitation was also higher in the second half than in the first half of the breeding season. During the first half of the breeding season, daily egg …
First Record Of F_2 Hybrid Striped Bass (Morone Chrysops ♀ × Morone Saxatilis ♂ × Morone Chrysops ♀ × Morone Saxatilis ♂) In Kemer Dam Lake, Volkan Kizak, Yusuf Güner
First Record Of F_2 Hybrid Striped Bass (Morone Chrysops ♀ × Morone Saxatilis ♂ × Morone Chrysops ♀ × Morone Saxatilis ♂) In Kemer Dam Lake, Volkan Kizak, Yusuf Güner
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The morphometric and meristic characters of 2 F_2 hybrid striped bass (M. chrysops female × M. saxatilis male × M. chrysops female × M. saxatilis male) from the family Moronidae are described. Two specimens were caught from Kemer Dam Lake. The body of the F_2 hybrid striped bass was elongated, moderately compressed, and scaly. Dorsal surface and sides were silver and black to olive-gray, and the abdomen was white in color. Four or 5 longitudinal broken stripes ran above the lateral line to the caudal fin. The stripes were less visible behind the pectoral fins and below the lateral line. …
Ichneumonid Parasitoids Of The Sawfly Cimbex Quadrimaculata (Müller) Feeding On Almonds In Antalya, Along With A New Parasitoid And New Record, Hi̇kmet Özbek
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The sawfly Cimbex quadrimaculata (Müller) (Hymenoptera: Cimbicidae) has been identified as a serious defoliator of young almond plants in Antalya. Two ichneumonid parasitoids, Opheltes glaucopterus (Linnaeus) and Phobetes nigriceps (Gravenhorst) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ctenopelmatinae), were reared as larva-pupa parasitoids of C. quadrimaculata. Of these, P. nigriceps was obtained for the first time from C. quadrimaculata; it is a new record for the Turkish fauna as well as for the continent of Asia.
New Data About Ptyctimous Mites (Acari, Oribatida) In Polish Palm Houses, Wojciech Niedbala
New Data About Ptyctimous Mites (Acari, Oribatida) In Polish Palm Houses, Wojciech Niedbala
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In samples collected in 2012 at the palm house in Poznan, 5 species of ptyctimous mites were found; 3 of them were native species (Mesotritia nuda, Euphthiracarus cribrarius, Acrotritia ardua) and 2 were exotic species, pantropical Microtritia tropica and neotropical Phthiracarus phoxos. In the samples from the palm house in Lodz, 3 species were found; 2 of them were known from the palm house in Poznan (Acrotritia ardua and Phthiracarus ferrugineus), and the third has not been reported from Poland before: the very rare species Mesoplophora michaeliana, known so far from the southern part of the Western Palearctic. Some juvenile …

According to the benthic studies on echinoderms inhabiting the coasts of Turkey, a total of 91 echinoderm species belonging to 5 classes have been reported. The Aegean Sea coast is represented by the highest number of species (76 species), followed by the Sea of Marmara (64 species), the Levantine Sea (51 species), and the Black Sea (17 species). Sixty-six echinoderm species were found on soft substrata, while 8 species were reported on hard substrata and 17 species on both soft and hard substrata. The majority of the echinoderm species (83 species) were found at depths ranging from 11 to 50 …
