A new species of Harpactea Bristowe, 1939, H. alanyana sp. n. is described from southern Turkey. The appears closely related to osellai Brignoli, 1978. Detailed description and illustrations the are provided. relationships two discussed.
The genus Raveniola Zonstein, 1987 is found to be represented in Western Asia by 16 species: ♂♀ R. adjarica sp. nov. (Georgia), ♂ anadolu (Turkey), arthuri Kunt & Yağmur, 2010 birecikensis dunini (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran), hyrcanica Dunin, 1988 (Azerbaijan), marusiki (Iran), mazandaranica Marusik, Zamani Mirshamsi, 2014 micropa (Ausserer, 1871) ♀ nana niedermeyeri (Brignoli, 1972) pontica (Spassky, 1937) (Russia, Georgia), sinani turcica vonwicki 2000 (Iran) and zaitzevi (Charitonov,...
A new genus of troglomorphic Dysderidae is described, based mainly on the morphology copulatory organs. The Kut gen. nov. , with type species Harpactocrates troglophilus Brignoli, 1978, also includes two recently discovered from coastal Mediterranean Turkey: izmiricus sp. and K. dimensis All three display traits, most distinct in Another genus-level trait a characteristic simple bulb males. Female organ shows similarity to endemic Caucasian Cryptoparachtes Dunin, 1992 paraspermatheca...
A new species Hersiliola turcica sp. n. is described on the basis of both sexes from Southeast Turkey. Males have an extraordinarily long embolus and females very insemination ducts.
Abstract Motivation The intrinsic characteristics of islands make them a unique study system for the investigation ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Mediterranean Basin, an island‐rich biodiversity hotspot, still lacks comprehensive spatial database these geographic features. This presents first all larger than 0.01 km 2 , aiding investigations interdisciplinary research. Main types variable contained MEDIS offers detailed information on 39 geographic, climatic, land‐use variables,...
Harpactea ulgen sp. n. is described based on both sexes from Türkiye. The new species belongs to the rubicunda group as defined by Deeleman-Reinhold (1993) and closely related Turkish endemic H. ballarini Kunt, Özkütük & Elverici, 2013.
Two new Harpactea species, H. cosari sp. nov. (male female) and subterranea female), are described from the Manisa Province of Türkiye. The two species belong to rubicunda group based on characteristics male female copulatory organs. was sampled mesovoid shallow substratum using special traps. An apparent reduction eyes observed as an adaptation living underground. In addition a population cruriformis Bosmans, 2011, previously Greek island Chios, discovered in İzmir province reported spider...
Two Red Sea immigrant fish species, Fistularia commersoni (Fistularidae) and Sphyraena flavicauda (Sphyraenidae), are reported for the first time from Anatolian coast (Turkey) second Mediterranean Sea. Occurrence of Lagocephalus suezensis (Tetraodontidae) at southern Turkish is substantiated a new record this species in Aegean presented.
Scorpion venoms are rich bioactive peptide libraries that offer promising molecules may lead to the discovery and development of new drugs. Leiurus abdullahbayrami produces one most potent among Turkish scorpions provokes severe symptoms in envenomated victims. In present study, profile venom was investigated by electrophoretic methods, size-exclusion reversed-phase chromatography mass spectroscopy. Cytotoxic antimicrobial effects were evaluated on a breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) various...
Macroecologists seek to identify drivers of community turnover ( β -diversity) through broad spatial scales. However, the influence local habitat features in driving broad-scale -diversity patterns remains largely untested, owing objective challenges associating local-scale variables continental-framed datasets. We examined relative contribution local- versus continental patterns, using a uniquely suited dataset cave-dwelling spider communities across Europe (35–70° latitude). Generalized...
Leiurus abdullahbayrami sp. nov. is described from Southeastern Turkey and compared with other species of the genus, in particular L. quinquestriatus, which was previously misidentified Turkey. The new readily distinguished members genus by pedipalp chela metasomal segments that are distinctly shorter than quinquestriatus; segment V has large rounded lobes; trichobothrium db on fixed finger located between trichobothria est esb (in quinquestriatus it et est). All known Turkish populations...
Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) are widespread in subterranean ecosystems worldwide and represent an important component of trophic webs. Yet, global-scale diversity patterns spiders still mostly unknown. In the frame CAWEB project, a European joint network cave arachnologists, we collected data on cave-dwelling spider communities across Europe order to explore their continental patterns. Two main datasets were compiled: one listing all species recorded numerous localities another with high...
A new species of the troglobitic spider genus Typhlonesticus is described from specimens found in Keloğlan Cave (Denizli Province, Dodurgalar Town), Turkey. gocmeni sp. n. on basis both sexes; and its phylogenetic relationships with closely related European genera are discussed based morphological molecular data (the cox1, rrnL H3 genes). Three combinations proposed: idriacus (Roewer, 1931), comb. n., morisii (Brignoli, 1975) obcaecatus (Simon, 1907), all ex Nesticus.
A new Dysdera spider species is described from Cyprus. Based on male and female morphological features, the species, D. udata n. sp., can be considered in asiatica group. Besides copulatory characters, species’ males also have cheliceral projections, which are rarely observed genus Dysdera, both sexes retrolaterally positioned tubercles patellae.
A new scorpion species, Euscorpius alanyaensis sp. n., is described based on specimens collected from the Taurus Mountains in Antalya Province (Alanya District) southern Turkey. It a sibling species of recently E. gocmeni Tropea et al., 2014, and similarly, also characterized by high trichobothrial count (Pv = 9–11, 7, em 4, eb 4), pectinal teeth (Dp 9–11 males, 8 females), medium-small size, light to medium brown-reddish colour. In addition, for first time phylogenetic analysis...
A new troglobitic spider species, Nesticus dimensis n. sp. (♂ ♀), inhabiting the Dim Cave of Alanya (Antalya Prov., Turkey) is diagnosed and described. The species belongs to Eastern Mediterranean Group, which includes N. eremita speluncarum as most common widespread along with arenstorffi henderickxi. Evolutionary relationships taxa belonging this group are discussed on basis morphological molecular data (using cox1, rrnL H3 gene sequence data).
A new species of the spider genus Tegenaria Latreille, 1804 is described, based on newly collected specimens from Turkey. Detailed morphological descriptions, diagnosis and figures copulatory organs both sexes are presented. Finally, a checklist distribution maps for Turkish provided.
A new troglobitic species, Harpactea karaschkhan sp.n. (females only), inhabiting Yalandu ¨nya Mag ˘arası of Gazipa sa (Antalya Province, Turkey) is described.Detailed morphological description and illustrations the species are provided.The relationships discussed.
