The stabilized and the trailing edge glacial relicts are candidate model organisms to be used to link taxonomy to phyloge- ography. We attempted to establish such a link by considering the taxonomy and phylogeography of the genus Anterastes, consisting of glacial relict taxa/populations. Species delimitation tests indicated 13–22 candidate species...
Anatolia harbours diverse and unique biodiversity. Nearly half of the genera and more than 80% of the species belonging to the tettigoniid subfamily Tettigoniinae are endemic to Anatolia. Although the Anatolian Tettigoniinae have been well studied, proper documentation of Tettigoniinae biodiversity requires studies using contemporary approaches and...
Nonnative cichlids (Coptodon zillii) have established populations in the Köyceğiz and Koca Lakes, located on the west coasts of Mediterranean Turkey. Conflicting species names in these lakes have been reported for many years. We studied samples from current populations of Coptodon in these lakes and the Pecenek canal concerning existing GenBank dat...
The present study examines the phylogeography of Pholidopterini (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae), a lineage distributed in the East Mediterranean and estimated substitution rates for the three mitochondrial and two nuclear gene segments. The last common ancestor of Pholidopterini was dated to 18 myr ago, in Early Miocene. Phylogeography of the lineage w...
After a recent revision of the tribe Pholidopterini, the generic status of Apholidoptera becomes questionable and requires to be clarified by determining its phylogenetic position. The present study aims to obtain a phylogenetic tree using published DNA sequence data of Pholidopterini and representative sequences from Apholidoptera kurda, the only...
Review of Uvarovistia (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Tettigoniinae): genetic data indicate a new cryptic species, Uvarovistia munzurensis sp.n. Abstract Genus Uvarovistia ranged along the Zagros Mountain belt. We presented first genetic data from three species of the genus and a taxonomic rectification indicated by these data. Sequences of three mitoc...
This study aims to rectify the taxonomy of Pholidopterini (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Tettigoniinae) using a phylogenetic approach. To this end, DNA sequences of three mitochondrial and two nuclear genes were produced and analysed. Reconstructed phylogenetic trees were consistent with the limits of the tribe and internal generic
clades. However, th...
This exploratory study aims to describe the learning opportunities in evolution across Europe in non-formal contexts. To better understand the current situation as well as to describe the landscape in evolution-themed, lifelong learning in Europe, we in the Working Group "Informal Educators" of the EU COST Action EuroScitizen have undertaken a lite...
Poecilimon Fischer (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) consists of about 130 species and a functional taxonomy of the genus re- quires arranging species into phylogenetic groups. However, this is a task that requires detailed empirical testing. This paper documents data on Poecilimon species with an inflated pronotum. The Poecilimon (Poecilimon) inflatus g...

-We aim to determine the Psorodonotus ebneri’s occupancy area, exact habitat preference, population size and demographical status. The threat category will be re-assessed.
-To gather climate data for the distribution area the data loggers will be put both in open and underground. These data will be used to estimate the life-cycle threshold for egg-laying, embryonic development, hatching and molting period.
-Potential threats will be monitored and assessed. The water sources within and around the habitat, the precipitation regime and the usage of these water sources by humans will be determined to estimate the survival of the habitat. Other potential threats such as grazing herds and their mowing regimes and the grass cutting by humans will be determined.
-The conservation plan will be determined and put into action. The survival of the habitat requires preventing the disposal of water, herd grazing and grass cutting. To support animal reproduction unbreakable cages will be placed in certain areas to provide safe egg-laying areas.
