We describe a new genus, Ufocandona gen. nov. with its type species hannaleeae et sp. nov., from an artesian well in San Marcos, Texas, USA. The genus has diagnostic characteristics that distinguish it other genera Candonidae, including the asymmetric shape of valves, smooth central area on external surface hexagonal ornamentations around marginal ends carapace, dense spines edges right valve and dorsal prolongation tubercles seen inside ventral left valve. Additional differences soft body...
ABSTRACT Freshwater ostracods are important for interpreting the water quality of aquatic habitats. However, using in this way requires knowledge their ecology and habitat preferences, particularly because species may show different responses to ecological conditions. I documented requirements five ostracod distribution ten similar-sized lakes reservoirs Bolu, Turkey. Five (Darwinula stevensoni, Cypria ophthalmica, Cypridopsis vidua, Cyclocypris ovum, Fabaeformiscandona fabaeformis) were...
Abstract To understand the relationship between local (alpha) diversity of ostracods and their distribution, 95 different locations were randomly sampled from southern Kahramanmaraş (Turkey) 7 June 31 July, 2010. Total 46 encountered 68 sites. Four alpha indices (Shannon‐Wiener, Menhinick, Brillouin, Margalef) individually quantified higher species evenness for three types habitats (limnocrene springs, ponds, stream). Diversity partitioning analyses revealed a significant substantial...
To understand ostracod distribution and ecology at high altitudes (1659–2889 m a.s.l.), 78 different aquatic sites located in the city of Van were sampled during summer 2009. A total 29 species recorded 57 sites. Among species, Trajancypris laevis (G.W. Müller 1900), is a new report for Turkish fauna. First axis Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) explained about 68% relationships between 13 most abundant environmental variables. Four variables (redox potential, habitat type, pH...
To understand the distribution and ecological characteristics of non-marine ostracods, Poisson Method was applied to a total 41 taxa (26 recent 15 sub-fossil) from 111 (out 120) aquatic bodies Adıyaman Province, Turkey. All were new records for area Schellencandona insueta Gomphocythere n. sp. first According method, ostracods randomly distributed among all sampling sites (P>0.05). This is especially true cosmopolitan species (Candona neglecta, Heterocypris incongruens, Ilyocypris bradyi...
We evaluated Rapoport's rule which states a negative correlation between species richness and altitude. To understand the relationship altitude reproductive modes (a/sexual) of non-marine ostracods, 166 aquatic bodies in Ordu region, Turkey were randomly sampled from July 11 to 16, 2010. A total 26 ostracods found 133 out sites. Except for one (Heterocypris incongruens), other 25 new reports region. Candona improvisa was also report Turkish ostracod fauna. Three (Psychrodromus olivaceus, H....
Examination of normal pore canals, especially sieve-type in living and fossil representatives ten genera the family Limnocytheridae, subfamily Timiriaseviinae, has revealed important diversity structure. These complex canals have been studied via high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (the Cartographic Method) analysed application newly devised indices to assess patterns consistency variation both detailed structure individual pores their distribution on calcified valve. The...
Ecological characteristics of 32 nonmarine ostracod taxa collected from 89 aquatic habitats Erzincan (Turkey) during the summer 2006 were evaluated. All species are new reports for area, while Cypria sywulae Meisch, 2000 is a record Turkish fauna. The first 2 axes canonical correspondence analysis explain 74.1% variance between 15 and 5 environmental variables. influence water temperature on distribution was significantly higher (P = 0.02) than that other ecological factors. most frequently...
We investigated how the richness and ecological characteristics of non-marine ostracod species varied across nine 100-m elevation bands (from 549 to 1457 m) in Çankırı region. collected a total 37 taxa (25 living 12 sub-recent) from 114 130 aquatic sites sampled during September 2011; 34 were new records for Eight widely distributed 'cosmopolitan' (Candona neglecta, Cypridopsis vidua, Heterocypris incongruens, Ilyocypris bradyi, Limnocythere inopinata, Potamocypris villosa, Prionocypris...
The relationship between ecological characteristic of freshwater ostracods and their habitat preferences has been a critical issue for understanding both current past aquatic conditions. To evaluate this idea, 121 water bodies with 11 different types were randomly sampled in the province Kütahya. Water quality measurements indicated high to low (Ca 2+ > Mg Na + ) cations relatively (SO 4 2− Cl − F anion concentrations Ca being dominant ion. Sixteen 23 species new reports area. Alpha...
We sampled Lake Çubuk, a shallow lake in Bolu (Turkey), for 26 months to investigate the effect of limnoecological changes on composition ostracod species. Seventeen species were identified from six stations between 2008 and 2010. Numbers individuals both significantly reduced during 2010, which corresponded 3 m water level increase. Ostracod Watch Model (OWM) displayed distinct seasonal occurrences five (Candona neglecta, Cypria ophtalmica, Cypridopsis vidua, Limnocythere inopinata,...
Tinea capitis is a superficial scalp dermatophyte infection. particularly seen during childhood and not usually after puberty. In untreated cases, it can be contagious progress to cicatricial alopecia. This study aimed retrospectively evaluate cases of tinea capitis. Materials methods: We evaluated 104 patients presenting our dermatology clinic between 2007 2011. Results: Of these patients, 38 (36.5%) were female 66 (63.5%) male. The median age was 6.41 ± 3.4 years (range: 1-18 old)....
