Öğe A new Barrussus Roewer, 1928 (Solifugae: Karschiidae) from southern Turkey(TUBITAK SCIENTIFIC & TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY, 2013) Karatas, Aysegul; Ucak, MunirA new species of Barrussus, Barrussus telescopus sp. nov., is described from the Bolkar Mountains in southern Turkey. Males have an extremely elongated and bar-shaped ocular tubercule extended anteriorly between their eyes, which is the longest projecting ocular tubercule among all known males of Barrussus. The ocular tubercule of females has a short conical projection. Cheliceral movable fingers of type specimens have 5 anteriorly situated small teeth. Males have club-shaped ctenidia on the 4th and blunt-ended tubular ctenidia on the 5th opisthosomal sternites. The female has no ctenidia on its 4th opisthosomal sternite, with ctenidia on the 5th opisthosomal sternite similar to that in males. Ctenidia of the 5th opisthosomal sternite are pointed apically in the female, blunt in the male. The female possesses a hump-like projection on the metapeltidium, which is only known from females of B. telescopus sp. nov. within all known females of Barrussus. The new species is differentiated from B. pentheri (Werner, 1905) and B. furcichelis Roewer, 1928.Öğe A new Hemiscorpius Peters, 1861 (Scorpiones: Hemiscorpiidae) from southwestern Iran(TUBITAK SCIENTIFIC & TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY, 2013) Karatas, Aysegul; Gharkheloo, Muhammed MouradiA new Hemiscorpius species, H. kashkayi sp. nov., is described from the Khuzestan and Ahwaz region in southwestern Iran. H. kashkayi is related to H. persicus Birula, 1903, known from Baluchestan in eastern Iran, which does not show sexual dimorphism between males and females, like H. kashkayi. These 2 species differ from all other Iranian Hemiscorpiidae species in having no sexual dimorphism. H. kashkayi is distinguished from H. persicus by its relatively short and well-developed stout metasoma and pedipalp segments, less developed patellar process, and carapacial and mesosomal carination.Öğe Acute myocardial infarction following an arthropod bite: is hereditary thrombophilia a contributing factor?(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2006) Kayikcioglu, Meral; Eroglu, Zuhal; Kosova, Buket; Olukman, Murat; Karatas, Aysegul; Can, Levent H.; Hasdemir, CanAcute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to arthropod envenomation has rarely been reported in the literature. In the present report, we describe two cases who developed AMI following an arthropod bite. Coronary angiograms revealed normal coronary arteries in both patients. Both events were probably secondary to coronary artery thrombosis and/or coronary artery vasospasm. Both patients were subsequently found to be heterozygous for prothrombin mutation (G20210A). As a result, we recommend ruling out the possibility of hereditary thrombophilias in young patients with AMI developing after an arthropod bite.Öğe An extremely low genetic divergence across the range of Euscorpius italicus (Scorpiones, Euscorphdae)(AMER ARACHNOLOGICAL SOC, 2006) Fet, Victor; Gantenbein, Benjamin; Karatas, Aysegul; Karatas, AhmetLittle or no genetic divergence is detected using mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequence comparisons across the entire geographic range of the scorpion Euscorpius italicus (Herbst 1800) from Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Greece and Turkey. This is consistent with known absence of patterns of allozymes and morphological variation. Euscorpius italicus is found almost exclusively in human habitations. Its sister species, E. naupliensis, exhibits much higher genetic diversity within southern Greece. We suggest that the natural populations of the thermophilic E. italicus underwent a bottleneck during the glaciations, and that its modem range could be a result of dispersal with humans.Öğe Contribution to the distribution of the scorpions of Iran (Arachnida: Scorpiones)(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2012) Karatas, Aysegul; Garkheloo, Muhammed Mouradi; Ucak, MunirThis study covers 16 species in three families collected from 20 different provinces (ostam) of Iran between the years 2005 and 2007, with a summary of previous studies on Iranian scorpions. C. petriolii is recorded for the first time from East Azerbaijan, Qom and Urumiyeh provinces; H. zagrosensis from Qazvin Province; I. knoll front Qom Province; O. doriae from Hamadan Province. A second record of H. acanthocercus is given where the first record was from Khoozestan Province.Öğe Description of the male of Gluviopsis paphlagoniae Turk, 1960 (Solifugae: Daesiidae) from Turkey(Magnolia Press, 2021) Karatas, Aysegul; Ucak, Munir; Karatas, Ahmet; Ozbay, Mustafa Kemal[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Distribution and activity period of the invasive Orosanga japonica (Melichar, 1898) (Hemiptera: Ricaniidae) in Turkey(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Karatas, Ahmet; Karatas, Aysegul; Yavuz, Nizamettin; Genc, MuratThe invasive speciesOrosanga japonicawas found at 38 sites in Black Sea coastal zone of Turkey. It was recorded for the first time from the Central Black Sea Region, and for the second time from Western Black Sea Region and in the European part of Turkey. Most localities were close to the Black Sea (<3 km) and situated at altitudes lower than 150 m a.s.l. with the highest records up to 500 m a.s.l. Maximum distance from the sea was in Alemdag, with c. 15 km, and Erenkoy, with c. 10 km. This species is confined in Turkey to the high-rainy and humid coastal zones. Additionally considering cultivated plants,O. japonicawas found on 18 host plant species, of which 15 were previously not known to be used by the species. Nymphs of this univoltine pest were found between May and July, depending on the weather conditions such as rainfall and temperature. Adults emerged between early June and mid-September, with the highest density in the second half of August. Eggs were observed from late August to mid-June.Öğe Insecta non gratae: New Distribution Records of Eight Alien Bug (Hemiptera) Species in Turkey with Contributions of Citizen Science(Magnolia Press, 2021) Cerci, Baris; Karatas, Ahmet; Karatas, AysegulThis study is prepared to provide an example for the utility of citizen science in faunistic research, which is becoming popular as a data source, especially for invasive alien species. With the globalization tendency of many living species by human impact, alien species rapidly spread far from their natural distribution range and become invasive in their newly settled ecosystems. Some of these invasive alien species become one of the most important problems for nature. This study focuses on distribution of following eight alien Hemiptera species that have previously been recorded from Turkey: Zelus renardii (Reduviidae), Corythucha arcuata and Corythucha ciliata (Tingidae), Leptoglossus occidentalis (Coreidae), Perillus bioculatus and Halyomorpha halys (Pentatomidae), Stictocephala bisonia (Membracidae) and Metcalfa pruinosa (Flatidae). New distributional and seasonality data for all these species are presented based on observations shared by citizen scientists in the websites Dogalhayat and iNaturalist. New provincial records for each species are given. As a result, it is apparent that citizen science is an important data source, supplies remarkable contribution for increasing the understanding on expansion of invasive alien species as well as providing clear picture on their distribution.Öğe Insectum non grata: the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773) (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) in Turkey(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2021) Karatas, Ahmet; Karatas, Aysegul; Yavuz, Nizamettin; Ulker, Elif Deniz; Kocak, Ozgur; Akbaba, BurakThe Harlequin Ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773), is native to Eastern Asia but it has been introduced to many countries in Africa, America, and Eurasia. In Turkey, H. axyridis is one of the most fast-spreading invasive alien species. Since the collection of the first specimens in 2010, H. axyridis spread almost all over the country. The species spreads fast in Turkey according to the new records, obtained originally from the field studies and the citizen science data. It was recorded for the first time from 19 of 81 Turkish provinces (Ankara, Antalya, Balikesir, Bolu, Bursa, Istanbul, Izmir, Karaman, Kastamonu, Kirklareli, Kocaeli, Mugla, Rize, Samsun, Sinop, Tokat, Trabzon, Yalova, and Zonguldak) from Aegean, Central and Eastern Black Sea regions. We used the MaxEnt program to predict the current and future potential geographical distribution of this species in Turkey and its surrounding areas. Based on MaxEnt predictions, the majority of this region seems highly suitable for the species.Öğe Range extension of the Cream-coloured Courser Cursorius cursor to central Anatolia (Aves: Charadriiformes)(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Karatas, Ahmet; Tunc, Fahri; Karatas, Aysegul[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Redescription of Mesobuthus vesiculatus (Pocock, 1899) (Scorpiones: Buthidae) based on specimens from Iran(TUBITAK SCIENTIFIC & TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY, 2012) Karatas, Aysegul; Gharkheloo, Muhammed MouradiThe scorpion Mesobuthus vesiculatus (Pocock, 1899) was briefly described from northwestern Iran based on only one male with a picture indicating the dorsal habitus of the holotype; the author pointed out that it has a large and globular telson with a short aculeus. This species, with very distinct morphological features, is now redescribed based on new specimens (3 males, 3 females) collected from West Azerbaijan and East Azerbaijan (Iran). Detailed figures and measurements are presented and the trichobotrial pattern and paraxial organ are illustrated for the first time. The morphological differences of M. vesiculatus from similar species M. caucasicus, M. eupeus, and Sassanidotus gracilis are discussed.
