Glyptomorpha baetica, G. discolor, G. gracilis, G. kasparyani, and G. pectoralis are recorded from Turkey. Glyptomorhpa baetica is new to the Turkish fauna. It was reared from a new host Sesamia nonagrioides (Noctuidae, Lepidoptera) and was redescribed. Its diagnostic characters are illustrated. An identification key is provided for nine species of Glyptomorpha of Turkey and adjacent regions. Distribution...
Three new species of Neophyllobius viz. N. demirsoyi, N. yunusi, N. bolvadinensis and male, protonymph and larvae of N. lachishensis Bolland, 1998 from Turkey are described and illustrated. Neophyllobius lachishensis is reported from Turkey for the first time.
Neurocrassus serbicus sp. n. is described as a parasite of two species of long-horned beetles Phymatodes testaceus and Exocentrus punctipennis from the Kopljari site near the town of Arandjelovac in the Šumadija region of Serbia. The new species is morphologically similar to N. tesari Šnoflák, 1945, N. fabimaculatus Belokobylskij, 1993, N. crassinervis Belokobylskij, 1993, and N. rarus (Belokobylskij,...
Pselaphia haladai sp. n. and Pselaphia zambiensis sp. n. are described from Zambia. All African Pselaphia species are keyed and main differential characters are illustrated.
The karyotype and major ribosomal sites as revealed using silver staining of Anatolian leuciscine cyprinid fish Acanthobrama marmid were studied. The diploid chromosome number was invariably 2n = 50. Karyotype consisted of eight pairs of metacentric, 13 pairs of submetacentric and four pairs of subtelocentric to acrocentric chromosomes. The largest chromosome pair of the complement was subtelo-to...
Dermacentor reticulatus ticks are recognized as the most important vectors of Babesia canis, the aetiological agent of canine babesiosis occurring throughout Europe. Vector competence of D. reticulatus for B. canis is well described and experimentally determined; however, by using molecular analysis it was proven so by one recent study in Russia. Herein, the additional molecular evidence of B. canis...
Species representation and seasonality of adult sawflies (Symphyta) were studied using Malaise traps at three submontane study sites (Hriňová — HR, Mošovce — MO and Štefanová — ŠT) in the Western Carpathians (Central Slovakia). One trap was operated at each study site continuously during the growing season, in MO in 1992, in HR in 1995 and in ŠT in 1996. A total of 9,281 adults representing 244 species...
Hoarding by urban kestrels and its subsequent exploitation significantly increases the frequency and regularity of feeding during the early stage of the nestling period. Twelve kestrels’ nests situated in various part of the city were chosen to test whether hoarding could affect the chicks’ condition. Four nests (with 22 nestlings) were provided with food — one dead mouse per chick per day (F group)...
On the basis of specimens collected from Eastern Turkey, description and illustrations of a new mite, Oplitis turcica sp. n., have been given. The genus Oplitis Berlese, 1884 has been recorded in Turkey for the first time.
In contrast to cold and eurythermal waters, benthic communities of warm brooks in temperate regions have been inadequately studied. In order to investigate the effects of water thermal regime on the benthic communities of warm waters and their relationships with those of cold and eurythermic ones, the macrozoobenthos was studied at eight sites in the Toplica River, and at four sites in its tributary,...
Hybos bifurcatus sp. n. and H. mengqingae sp. n. are described. The two new species are closely related with Hybos trfurcatus Yang et Yang and H. caesariatus Yang et Yang.
The behaviour of bathypelagic perch fry (BPF) was monitored during 21 May, 24 June, 8 August and 5 September 1996 along the longitudinal profile of Římov reservoir (Czech Republic), using acoustic methods (SIMRAD EY 500 echosounder, elliptical split-beam transducer, Sonar5 postprocessing software). In May, the BPF layer comprised a mass of solitary perch larvae at an abundance of over 31,000 ind....
Harvestman communities inhabiting plots treated differently for grassland restoration were investigated at the Výzkum site near Malá Vrbka village (Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area). Harvestman were sampled by pitfall trapping from 1999 to 2003 on plots sown with native haymeadow seed mixture, also on plots where narrow strips of regional seed mixtures were sown either within a matrix of commercial...
Post-breeding habitats of nine passerine species were studied in the permanently flooded reed beds of ponds near the village Pusté Úlany (SW Slovakia) in 2002. Structural features of reed beds and the abundance of all birds studied were sampled at two sites and eight study plots. The reed bed structure and abundance of four passerines differed considerably between the individual study plots. The variations...
