Ten Additions To The Rotifer Fauna Of Turkey, Murat Kaya, Ahmet Altindağ
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Ten monogonont rotifer species new for the Turkish fauna discovered in 2007 are discussed: Cephalodella delicata Wulfert, C. cf. forceps Donner, C. misgurnus Wulfert, Dipleuchlanis propatula (Gosse), Encentrum limicola Otto, E. mustela (Milne), Lecane aculeate (Jakubski), L. paradoxa (Steinecke), Notommata glyphura Wulfert, and Proales similis de Beauchamp. Eight are widely distributed, but C. cf. forceps Donner and L. paradoxa (Steinecke) have been recorded only from the Palearctic. Important parts of the trophi structure of some species are shown using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, pH, and water temperature were also measured.

Scale insects in cultivated and non-cultivated areas in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus were surveyed between 2005 and 2007. This study showed that Diaspididae and Coccidae were the most common families, with total numbers of 23 and 13 species, respectively. The remaining families contained 1 to 4 species. New records of Coccoidea fauna from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus were Planchonia arabidis Signoret, (Asterolecaniidae), Eriococcus greeni Newstead (Eriococcidae), Acanthopulvinaria orientalis (Nasonov), Coccus pseudomagnoliarum (Kuwana), Ceroplastes sinensis Del-Guercio, Lecanopsis turcica (Bodenheimer), Luzulaspis frontalis Green, Lichtensia viburni Signoret, Parthenolecanium corni (Bouché), Rhizopulvinaria artemisiae (Signoret), (Coccidae), Duplachionaspis berlesii (Leonardi), Leucaspis pini …

New Records Of Leptostracans (Crustacea, Phyllocarida) From The Eastern Mediterranean, Cengi̇z Koçak, Juan Moreira, Tuncer Katağan
New Records Of Leptostracans (Crustacea, Phyllocarida) From The Eastern Mediterranean, Cengi̇z Koçak, Juan Moreira, Tuncer Katağan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Knowledge about leptostracans from the Mediterranean Sea is still scarce. Examination of samples collected from the Aegean Sea off Turkey and from Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean Sea revealed new localities and range extensions for 2 species of leptostracans: Nebalia strausi Risso, 1826, and N. kocatasi Moreira, Koçak, and Katagan, 2007. The record of N. kocatasi is the first for Cyprus and for the Levantine Basin. Additional specimens (Nebalia sp. 1 and Nebalia sp. 2) might prove to belong to 2 new species but the lack of material prevents their formal description.
