This study is prepared to provide an example for the utility of citizen science in faunistic research, which becoming popular as a data source, especially invasive alien species. With globalization tendency many living species by human impact, rapidly spread far from their natural distribution range and become newly settled ecosystems. Some these one most important problems nature. focuses on following eight Hemiptera that have previously been recorded Turkey: Zelus renardii (Reduviidae),...
Wild rodents (n = 330) were trapped around the villages of Altindere and Coşandere (Maçka, Trabzon Province), Ayder, Ortan, Yolkiyi (Camlihemşin, Rize Bozdag (Odemiş, Izmir Province) in northeastern western Turkey during April 2004. Samples tested for arenavirus, hantavirus, cowpox virus (family Poxviridae, genus Orthopoxvirus, CPXV) antibodies by using immunofluorescence assays (IFAs). Antibodies against arenaviruses found eight 330 (2.4%) rodents. Arenavirus sero-positive animals from all...
Food habits data were obtained from 26 species of bats Turkey. Barbastella barbastellus, Myotis capaccinii, M. mystacinus, Plecotus auritus, P. austriacus, kolombatovici, macrobullaris, and Rhinolophus euryale primarily moth feeders. Eptesicus bottae, E. serotinus, myotis, Taphozous nudiventris fed heavily on beetles. aurascens and, brandtii Diptera. blythii Tadarida teniotis tentatively classified as cricket feeders at least in Hypsugo savii, Miniopterus schreibersii, emarginatus,...
Various mechanisms such as geographic barriers and glacial episodes have been proposed determinants of intra-specific inter-specific differentiation populations, the distribution their genetic diversity. More recently, habitat climate differences, corresponding adaptations shown to be forces influencing phylogeographic evolution some vertebrates. In this study, we examined contribution these various factors on bent-winged bat, Miniopterus schreibersii, in southeastern Europe Anatolia.Our...
Miniopterus schreibersii is a polytypic bat species, with one of the widest distribution ranges among mammals. We studied genetic differentiation and taxonomy this species in transition zone between south-eastern Europe Anatolia (in Asia), where two subspecies have been described. The results indicated sharp break samples from western those eastern Anatolia. In addition, were seen to be reciprocally monophyletic, although was less drastic. These patterns suggest presence distinct groups...
Key biodiversity areas (KBAs) are sites of global importance for conservation. Their selection is based on standard criteria applied through a bottom-up, iterative process involving local stakeholders. This article presents the results study that KBA methodology in Turkey. The method uses four criteria: (1) globally threatened species; (2) restricted-range (3) congregations species concentrate at particular during some stage their life cycle; and (4) biome-restricted assemblages. In Turkey,...
Allopatric isolation in glacial refugia has caused differentiation and speciation many taxa globally. In this study, we investigated the nuclear mitochondrial genetic of long fingered bat, Myotis capaccinii during ice ages south‐eastern Europe Anatolia. The DNA (mtDNA) analyses indicated a suture zone similar to those recorded other animal species, including bats, suggesting association more than one refugium with region. Contrary most species where was seen Anatolia, for M. geographical...
In this study we investigate population genetic structure and phylogeography of the bent‐wing bat complex ( Miniopterus schreibersii ) in Asia Minor adjacent regions. PCR amplification sequencing first hypervariable domain mitochondrial control region were used to obtain data. Morphometric differentiation between lineages was analysed by comparing forearm lengths. We found two reciprocally monophyletic within M . complex, identified as M. s. s pallidus Distributions allopatric with a...
Abstract In 2009, human Dobrava-Belgrade virus (DOBV) infections were reported on the Black Sea coast of Turkey. Serologic and molecular studies potential rodent reservoirs demonstrated DOBV in Apodemus flavicollis A. uralensis mice. Phylogenetic analysis strains showed their similarity to mice–borne Greece, Slovenia, Slovakia.
The Anatolian fauna of the genus Euscorpius (Scorpiones: Euscorpiidae) is in process reassessment. Twelve species this are currently recognized for Anatolia, which seven have been recently described on basis morphology. We demonstrate additional cryptic diversity by applying molecular markers (mitochondrial COI and 16S rDNA genes) from 14 populations, 13 were morphologically characterized “em=3,” a phenotypic marker pedipalp patella. All studied forms strongly supported as single clade...
Population differentiation during the ice ages, followed by range expansions has significantly contributed to geographic distribution patterns of genetic diversity in Europe. In this regard, Iberian, Italian, Balkan peninsulas and Anatolia comprise important glacial refugia. different parts Anatolia, suture zones, where lineages that diverged refugia met again, were observed for several species. study, we investigated mitochondrial greater horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum...
Distribution of Mesobuthus eupeus (C.L. Koch, 1839) (Scorpiones: Buthidae) in Turkey is investigated and new distributional records are given. In addition, data on the variation number pectinal teeth, some ecological features M. provided.
Little or no genetic divergence is detected using mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequence comparisons across the entire geographic range of scorpion Euscorpius italicus (Herbst 1800) from Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Greece and Turkey. This consistent with known absence patterns allozymes morphological variation. found almost exclusively in human habitations. Its sister species, E. naupliensis, exhibits much higher diversity within southern Greece. We suggest that natural populations thermophilic...
Abstract One hundred and seventy-seven specimens of Spalax leucodon Nordmann, 1840 from 41 localities in Turkey were examined for their karyologicalfeatures. Nine karyotypic forms recorded. 2n= 50, NF= 72, NFa= 68 was recorded Bayburt, Erzincan, Giresun, Rize, 54, 74, 70 Kırıkkale, 52, 70, 66 Bolu, 56, 60, 78, 74 Isparta. Based on an extensive literature review, it shown that the form 60 has widest distribution subspecies cilicicus, while 50 nehringi. The nehringi also found area Kırıkkale...
The mitochondrial genetic differentiation of the Mediterranean horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus euryale Blasius, 1853, was investigated in southeastern Europe and Anatolia. Mitochondrial DNA tRNA-proline control region sequences were used for analyses. As a result phylogenetic analyses, two reciprocally monophyletic clades found with very high support. results suggested that secondary contact after allopatric separate glacial refugia, subsequent range expansion best explanation regarding...
Abstract Babesia microti (Aconoidasida: Piroplasmida) (Franca, 1910) is an important tick-borne zoonotic parasite with rodents serving as reservoir hosts. In the present study, 536 were captured from Burdur, Bartin, Giresun, and Yozgat provinces of Turkey between years 2010 2012, blood samples examined for presence spp. using conventional PCR which targeted 18S rRNA gene. The sequence analysis amplicons was tested B. well Hepatozoon spp., Sarcocystis Overall, 5.8% positive microti: 41% in...
Abstract New records from 41 localities are given for six species of vespertilionid bats, namely Myotis myotis (Borkhausen, 1797), M. blythii (Tomes, 1857), capaccinii (Bonaparte, 1837), Pipistrellus pipistrellus (Schreber, 1774), P. kuhlii (Kühl, 1819) and Barbastella barbastellus 1774). The diploid number chromosomes (2n) the total numbers autosomal arms (NFa) were determined as 2n= 44, NFa= 50 myotis, blythii, capaccinii, pipistrellus, 32, B. barbastellus.
The present study consists of both new records and literary data for 23 species bats reported from Syria. Sixteen belonging to 6 families have been collected either by mist nets or recovered owl pellets during the study. Families Pteropodidae, Emballonuridae, Hipposideridae, Molossidae are represented a single each family; Rousettus aegyptiacus, Taphozous nudiventris, Asellia tridens, Tadarida teniotis respectively. Family Rhinolophidae is three species; Rhinolophus ferrumequinum,...
