The Distribution Of Three Exotic Fishes In Anatolia, Hüseyi̇n Şaşi, Süleyman Balik
The Distribution Of Three Exotic Fishes In Anatolia, Hüseyi̇n Şaşi, Süleyman Balik
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Three exotic fish species, Lepomis gibbosus (L., 1758), Pseudorasbora parva (Temminck & Schlegel, 1846) and Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782), were recorded in Topçam Dam Lake from a new locality in Asia Minor. The pumpkinseed sunfish, stone moroko and wild goldfish were found as a result of studies performed on the reservoir in Aydın province, Turkey, between June 1999 and June 2000. This study is one of the first records on the distribution of these fishes in Topçam Dam Lake, Anatolia. These 3 species had been recorded from the Thrace region of Turkey, as well as Pseudorasbora parva in the Antalya …

A Study On Micromys Minitus (Pallas, 1771) (Mammalia: Rodentia) In Turkish Thrace, Beytullah Özkan, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t, Ercüment Çolak
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Micromys minutus was recorded from six localities in Turkish Thrace. The external, cranial and karyological peculiarities of the specimens were determined. The dorsal colour of the specimens is dark brownish, being lighter on the sides, but the rostrum and cheek are markedly ochre. Mean tail length relative to body length is 90.5%, and the occipito-nasal length is 18.1 mm. The diploid number of chromosomes was 2n = 68 with NF = 136 and NFa = 132.

The Taxonomy And Distribution Of Apodemus Agrarius (Pallas, 1771) (Mammalia: Rodentia) In The European Part Of Turkey, Haluk Kefeli̇oğlu, Coşkun Tez, İslam Gündüz
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The morphological and karyological characteristics of 27 specimens of Apodemus agrarius (Pallas, 1771) from the European part of Turkey were studied in detail and compared with those in the literature in order to provide a wider perspective on the taxonomic status of Apodemus agrarius in Turkey. In all the samples examined, 2n = 48 karyotype was observed with FN = 56 and FNa = 54. The 2n = 48 karyotype includes three pairs of metacentric, one pair of submetacentric and 19 pairs of acrocentric autosomes. Of the sex chromosomes, the X is a large acrocentric and the Y is a …

New Distributional Records For Rana Bedriagae Caralitana In Anatolia, Uğur Kaya, İ. Ethem Çevi̇k, Uğur C. Eri̇şmi̇ş
New Distributional Records For Rana Bedriagae Caralitana In Anatolia, Uğur Kaya, İ. Ethem Çevi̇k, Uğur C. Eri̇şmi̇ş
Turkish Journal of Zoology
We conducted a herpetofaunal survey on the southern part of the Lake District in Anatolia searching and documenting new sites for herptile species. During the two years of our study three new sites, Gencek Lake (Derebucak/Konya), Derebucak (Konya) and Tınaztepe (Seydişehir/Konya), were recorded for Rana bedriagae caralitana. Of these, the two southernmost records extend the distribution of these subspecies in the Lake District of Anatolia.
On The Distribution And Taxonomic Status Of Microtus Guentheri (Danford And Alston, 1880) And Microtus Lydius Blackler, 1916 (Mammalia: Rodentia) In Turkey, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t, Ercüment Çolak
On The Distribution And Taxonomic Status Of Microtus Guentheri (Danford And Alston, 1880) And Microtus Lydius Blackler, 1916 (Mammalia: Rodentia) In Turkey, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t, Ercüment Çolak
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Topotypes of Microtus guentheri were compared with specimens of the genus Microtus with 2n=54 chromosomes from western Anatolia. According to morphological and biometrical comparisons, it was determined that M. guentheri is a different species from Microtus lydius. The dorsal colour and the shape of the baculum distinguish M. guentheri from M. lydius morphologically. In addition, ear length, interorbital constriction, mastoid breadth, height of tympanic bulla and weight of M. guentheri were found to be statistically different from those of the nominate subspecies of M. lydius (p

Two New Localities For Lacerta Sicula Hieroglyphicaberthold, 1842 (Reptilia, Lacertidae), İsmai̇l Hakki Uğurtaş, Hi̇kmet Sami̇ Yildirimhan, Mehmet Öz
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, we describe 13 Lacerta sicula hieroglyphica collected from the centre of Bursa and Çakırca, a village about 10 km west of Iznik. The specimens, including their habitat characteristics and distribution, are described. This subspecies is known to live on islands in the Marmara Sea and in Istanbul. This is the first report of L. s. hieroglyphica from Bursa and Çakırca village and therefore its distributional range is being extended to the south of the Marmara Sea.

The Distribution And Fishing Of Two Mediterranean Eledone Spp. (Octopoda: Cephalopoda) In The Aegean Sea, Alp Salman, Tuncer Katagan, Ali̇ Cemal Gücü
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The spatial distributions of Eledone cirrhosa (Lamarck, 1798) and Eledone moschata (Lamarck, 1798) were examined based on four seasonal trawl surverys carried out between 1991-1992 covering 20-500 meters of the Turkish and international waters in the Aegean Sea. It was found that E. cirrhosa inhabits all depth ranges examined in the northern part, but it was seldom observed in the south. E. moschata, on the other hand, has a basin-wide distribution and solely inhabits the upper 200-meter depth range.

Distribution And Abundance Of The Octopods Eledone Cirrhosa (Lamarck, 1798) And Eledone Moschata (Lamarck, 1799) (Cephalopoda: Octopoda) In The Aegean Sea, Alp Salman, Tuncer Katağan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Distributions and relative abundances of the Eledone cirrhosa and Eledone moschata species exist in Aegean Sea were analized by considering the seasonal data obtained in bottom trawl between 1991 and 1993. According to these result, it was determined that both species have different distribution features in Aegean Sea, both vertically and horizontally. Depending on depth it's evident that E.cirrhosa in various size prefers the stratum in different depth. Whereas E.moschata distributes relatively in the depth of 0-100 m. So regional, seasonal and vertical catch per unit effort (CPUE) of both species were calculated, and the regions, seasons and depths having …

The Taxonomic Status Of Triturus Vulgaris(Linnaeus, 1758) Populations In Western Anatolia, Turkey, Kurtuluş Olgun, İbrahi̇m Baran, Cemal Varol Tok
Turkish Journal of Zoology
A total of 179 (97 males, 82 females) Triturus vulgaris specimens collected during the breeding season from Western Anatolia (Efes, Ayvacık, Lapseki, Karacabey, Gemlik) and European Turkey (Bolayır) was examined. The morphological and the statistical evaluations showed that the Western Anatolian (except Efes) and the Thrace populations are similar. The West Anatolian populations, therefore, should be included in the nominate subspecies, T.v. vulgaris. The Efes specimens were found to be different from specimens of Ayvacik, Lapseki and Gemlik especially in terms of body measurements. The explanation of the taxonomic status of the Efes population will be possible with the material …

Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this preliminary study, nine Stone Martens were recorded from different localities in Turkey. Their morphological characteristics were found to be consistent with previously published papers. However, the throat patches of Turkish Stone Martens show variations with respect to shape. In addition, it was determined that the morphologic and biometric characteristics of Turkish samples were consistent with those of M. f. syriaca. According to the karyological findings, the diploid number of chromosomes and the fundamental number were 38 and 76, respectively.
