We examined a population of cave crickets from southeastern Anatolia, belonging to the genus Troglophilus Krauss, 1879. Our analysis revealed that this population represents a previously undescribed species, which we herein describe as Troglophilus dicleensis Taylan & Şirin, sp. n., discovered in Dicle Cave, Diyarbakır Province. Detailed morphologi...

In the present paper, a number of twelve populations of genus Anadolua have been studied by focusing on their morphological and bioacoustic characters. Both bioacoustics and morphological CDF analyses (especially in males) indicate the existence of two new species (A. bergeri sp. nov. and A. moli sp. nov.) and of a new synonym (A. burri syn. nov. s...

This chapter discusses the extent to which insects are affected by global warming, but since it is hardly possible to fully disclose and examine the effects of global warming on insects, the most populous group in the world, in just one chapter or even a book, we have assumed here the task to provide a general overview of insects in relation to som...

This study aims to determine the phenological characteristics of thermal responses in the larvae of a Culex pipiens complex field population at the individual level under the influence of thermal regime of its habitat. The analysis is based on a structured population model quantifying the thermal responses of development time and survival under var...

Bolivarianus Mol, subgen. n., is described as a new subgenus. In this paper, the type species of this subgenus was not mentioned. To validate the new subgenus, the correct paragraph about the new subgenus should be put as below (page 420).

Gomphocerus Thunberg, 1815 (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Gomphocerinae) is an interesting genus with clavate antennae, differing from the other genera by the pyriform (pear-shaped) anterior tibiae in the male and being represented by 17 taxa species-subspecies in the Palaearctic region. Anatolian species of this genus have not been adequately studied, an...

In recent decades, significant increases and/or drastic changes have been recorded in the prevalence, intensity, and distribution of ticks worldwide, which are known to be fueled by the climate change. However, there are many intertwined drivers affecting ticks, the degree of their influence of which is contingent and difficult to determine, and it...

We examined cave crickets in southern Anatolian and northern Syrian in areas where Martínez de la Escalera collected at the end of the 19th century and compared our material with type material. We found a new species of the genus Dolichopoda Bolívar, 1880, D. rampinii Taylan & Şirin sp. n. from Anatolia (Hatay province). Additionally, some taxonomi...

Research Article ABSTRACT Keywords: Anopheles Artificial container Culiseta Seasonality Periurban This study was carried out in order to determine the monthly oviposition characteristics of Anopheles maculipennis Meigen sensu lato, Anopheles claviger Meigen sensu stricto, and Culiseta longiareolata Macquart at the artificial containers in a selecte...

Several animal species, including ants, have been reported to be capable of predation on ticks. However, determining factors in most interactions between ticks and predators have not yet been fully deciphered. We hypothesized that the ant species Lasius alienus, which is unknown whether it has any impact on ticks, may exhibit predation on the eggs...

Wetlands, important habitats to bird species, have suitable conditions for breeding activities as well asconstitute stopover sites at least to feeding or resting during migration activity of birds. The diversity ofbirds in an area indicates that the environment is healthy in ecological terms, and the greatest need of suchareas is to remove negative...

The study aimed to determine physical characteristics and meaning of different vocal signals of the White-spectacled Bulbul, Pycnonotus xanthopygos, during breeding seasons. Six types of signals were identified in relation to their behavioural context as territory, localisation, alarm, foraging, greeting, and resting. The carrier frequency of the s...

To date several studies have been carried out on Orthoptera fauna throughout Anatolia; however, there is no comprehensive study on the Orthoptera fauna of Hakkari Province. This study is a preliminary comprehensive research that deals with the less known Orthoptera (Insecta) fauna of Hakkari Province. In this respect, the records and possible local...

The genus Saga, one of the largest predatory bush crickets and insects in the Palearctic region, is represented by nine species in Anatolia. According to the morphological and bioacoustics evaluations of the Ephippigera species group belonging to the Saga genus, it consists of three species: S. ephippigera, S. syriaca, and S. hakkarica. To the pres...

The poultry red mite (PRM), Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer, 1778) (Acari: Dermanyssidae), is a common and significant ectoparasite of the poultry industry worldwide.

Dileptids are rapacious ciliates (Ciliophora, Protista) commonly found in a variety of habitats all over the World. They are characterized by having a proboscis underneath of which is the oral opening. We collected six dileptid populations belonging to species Rimaleptus mucronatus, R. binucleatus, Rurikoplites armatus (two populations), Dileptus c...

The diversity of cave crickets (Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae) remarkably differs between geographic regions in Anatolia. While only 4 species are distributed in northern Anatolia where Black Sea climate prevails, 14 species are found throughout southern and western Anatolia where the Mediterranean climate is dominant. However, no cave crickets were...

Previously described patterns of altitudinal differences in species diversity and abundance still need to be tested in respect of generality across lineages and regions. Grasshopper diversity and abundance of an altitudinal transect in the eastern Mediterranean were studied to test the generality of these patterns. To identify the reasons underlyin...

The Chorthippus biguttulus group distributed in the west Palaearctic, while intensively examined in Europe, is poorly known in the glacial refugia such as Anatolia. This produces constraints in making accurate statements about evolution and the biogeography of the group. The C. brunneus subgroup of this lineage is examined using large amounts of mo...
