Raccoon Spatial Ecology In The Rural Southeastern United States, Jacob E. Hill, Madison L. Miller, James L. Helton, Richard B. Chipman, Amy Gilbert, University Of Georgia, Guha Dharmarajan, Olin E. Rhodes Jr.

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

The movement ecology of raccoons varies widely across habitats with important implications for the management of zoonotic diseases such as rabies. However, the spatial ecology of raccoons remains poorly understood in many regions of the United States, particularly in the southeast. To better understand the spatial ecology of raccoons in the southeastern United States, we investigated the role of sex, season, and habitat on monthly raccoon home range and core area sizes in three common rural habitats (bottomland hardwood, upland pine, and riparian forest) in South Carolina, USA. From 2018–2022, we obtained 264 monthly home ranges from 46 raccoons. Mean …

Population Genetic Structure Of Testudo Hermanni Boettgeri (Hermann's Tortoise) In Türkiye, CAN YILMAZ, OĞUZ TÜRKOZAN, SEZGİN KARAMAN, CELAL ÜLGER 2023 TÜBİTAK

Population Genetic Structure Of Testudo Hermanni Boettgeri (Hermann's Tortoise) In Türkiye, Can Yilmaz, Oğuz Türkozan, Sezgi̇n Karaman, Celal Ülger

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Multidisciplinary approaches for the conservation of endangered species have great importance in preparing management plans. In addition to ecological and population demographic parameters, genetic data provide vital information for conservation management plans for a species. The Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni) suffers from illegal trade, fires, habitat fragmentation and destruction, and therefore, the genetic diversity of the regional populations has been affected. It was aimed herein to impart knowledge on the population genetic structure of T. hermanni boettgeri, listed as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List as a subspecies and has limited …

Structural And Biological Characterization Of Two Freshwater Mussel Shells (Bivalvia: Unionidae), HÜLYA ŞEREFLİŞAN 2023 TÜBİTAK

Structural And Biological Characterization Of Two Freshwater Mussel Shells (Bivalvia: Unionidae), Hülya Şerefli̇şan

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The shell of a freshwater mussel (Mollusca: Bivalvia) is a composite biological material that plays an active role in maintaining ecosystem services. Mussel shells have variable structures both within and between species. In this study, the structural and biological characteristics of the shells of Potomida semirugata and Leguminaia wheatleyi were investigated in order to use freshwater mussel shells as a biological material. Close observation of the microstructure of the shells of the two common freshwater bivalves revealed a variation in construction from the outer periostracum to the inner nacreous layer. In P. semirugata, a polygonal arrangement with columnar prisms …


Exploring The Efficacy Of Rnai-Mediated Gene Knock-Down Via Oral Delivery Of Dsrna In The Colorado Potato Beetle (Leptinotarsa Decemlineata Say), HANEEF TARİQ, AYHAN GÖKÇE, EMRE AKSOY, EMİNUR ELÇİ, ALLAH BAKHSH 2023 TÜBİTAK

Exploring The Efficacy Of Rnai-Mediated Gene Knock-Down Via Oral Delivery Of Dsrna In The Colorado Potato Beetle (Leptinotarsa Decemlineata Say), Haneef Tari̇q, Ayhan Gökçe, Emre Aksoy, Emi̇nur Elçi̇, Allah Bakhsh

Turkish Journal of Zoology

RNA interference (RNAi) is a versatile genetic tool capable of selectively inhibiting the expression of any gene in a targeted organism. Its implementation holds great promise for safeguarding crops against insect pests and diseases. Vacuolar-ATPase represents an ideal target for RNAi-based pest management strategies since it is an enzyme essential for various physiological processes in insects. In this study, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) was synthesized using an L4440 vector in Escherichia coli HT115 strain to silence the Vacuolar-ATPase proteolipid subunit mRNA in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say). To assess the effectiveness of RNAi, L. decemlineata larvae at different …


Comparison Of The Movement Speed Of Three Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Species Along Trails, STANISLAV STUKALYUK, MYKOLA KOZYR, ASCAR AKHMEDOV 2023 TÜBİTAK

Comparison Of The Movement Speed Of Three Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Species Along Trails, Stanislav Stukalyuk, Mykola Kozyr, Ascar Akhmedov

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The aim of this study was to compare the speed of movement of 3 species of ants (Formica rufa, F. polyctena, and Lasius fuliginosus) along trails with different types of substrates. The study took place from June to August 2022 within the Holosiyivo Forest, located in Kyiv, Ukraine. For L. fuliginosus, the study was conducted in August and September 2022. For the experiment, 3 colonies of each species were selected in June, with only 3 trails passing on substrate (a total of 9 trails). One of the trails was left unchanged (ground surface), smooth logs were …

Health Risk Assessments Of Heavy Metal Concentrations Via Consumption Of An Invasive Species, Carassius Gibelio, From Two Large Freshwater Lakes Of Türkiye, DUYGU CEREN ÇAĞLAN KAYA 2023 TÜBİTAK

Health Risk Assessments Of Heavy Metal Concentrations Via Consumption Of An Invasive Species, Carassius Gibelio, From Two Large Freshwater Lakes Of Türkiye, Duygu Ceren Çağlan Kaya

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Heavy metal toxicity is a significant threat to human health and the environment. Contamination of the food chain with heavy metals in water sources may impact the health of consumers adversely. This study aimed to determine the concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, and Zn in the invasive fish species Carassius gibelio inhabiting two important lakes in Türkiye: Lake Beyşehir and Lake Eğirdir, from the Lake District Region and assess any health risks posed by the consumption of these species. For this purpose, C. gibelio species were obtained from two lakes in dry and rainy seasons and heavy metal concentrations …
