Öğe A comparative karyological and serological study on two populations of Nannospalax nehringi (Satunin 1898) from Turkey(Univ Oradea Publ House, 2009) Uluturk, Servet; Coskun, Yueksel; Arikan, HueseyinTaxonomy of mole rats (Nannospalax) is highly provisional and the genus is in a need of a thorough revision. In this investigation, 23 (13 males, 10 females) specimens from the Central East (Malatya, Sivas) and Northeast (Kars, Ardahan) Anatolian provinces, were studied karyologically and twelve of these specimens (7 males, 5 females) were employed to analyse electrophoretic patterns of their blood proteins (serology). This study indicated chromosomal separation of both region (2n=50, NF=82, NFa=78 and 2n=60, NF=70, NFa=66). The separation of both regions was supported by the differences obtained in serograms in which blood serum proteins were composed by 11 fractions belonging to the 2n=50 chromosomal specimens and by 10 fractions in 2n=60 chromosomal specimens. Therefore the serological data obtained from this study support the results of the present and earlier karyological studies showing that populations of mole rats in both regions are karyologically and genetically distinct one from another. It is suggested that these two populations could be assigned to separate putative biological species.Öğe A comparative karyological and serological study on two populations of Nannospalax nehringi (Satunin 1898) from Turkey(Univ Oradea Publ House, 2009) Uluturk, Servet; Coskun, Yueksel; Arikan, HueseyinTaxonomy of mole rats (Nannospalax) is highly provisional and the genus is in a need of a thorough revision.

The investigated species and their families are as follows: Leptotyphlopidae [Leptotyphlops macrorhynchus (Jan 1861)], Typhlopidae [Typhlops vermicularis Merrem 1820], Boidae [Eryx jaculus (Linnaeus 1758)], Colubridae [Dolichophis jugularis (Linnaeus 1758), D. schmidti (Nikolsky 1909), D. caspius (Gmelin 1789), C. ventromaculatus Gray 1834, Hemorrhois nummifer (Reuss 1834), H. ravergieri (Menetries 1832), Platyceps collaris (Muller 1878), P. najadum (Eichwald 1831), Zamenis hohenackeri (Strauch 1873), Natrix natrix (Linnaeus 1758), N. tessellata (Laurenti 1768), Eirenis rothi Jan 1863, E. levantinus Schmidtler 1993, E. coronella (Schlegel 1837), E. barani Schmidtler 1988, E. eiselti Schmidtler & Schmidtler 1978, E. decemlineatus (Dumeril & Bibron 1854), E. modestus (Martin 1838), Rhynchocalamus melanocephalus (Jan 1862), Telescopus fallax (Fleischmann 1831), T. nigriceps (Ahl 1924), Malpolon monspessulanus (Hermann 1804), Spalerosophis diadema (Schlegel 1837), Viperidae [Montivipera xanthina (Gray 1849), M. wagneri (Nilson & Andren 1984), M. albizona (Nilson,, Andren & Flardh 1990), Vipera eriwanensis (Reuss 1933), Macrovipera lebetina (Linnaeus 1758)] and Elapidae [Walterinnesia aegyptia Lataste 1887].Öğe A new subspecies, Eumeces schneiderii barani n. ssp (Reptilia : Sauria : Scincidae) from Turkey(Magnolia Press, 2007) Kumlutas, Yusuf; Arikan, Hueseyin; Ilgaz, Cetin; Kaska, YakupThis study describes a new subspecies of lizard, Eumeces schneiderii barani n. ssp., from western Anatolia, Turkey. The new subspecies is differentiated from other two subspecies in Anatolia (E. s. princeps and E. s. pavimentatus) by its characteristic colour and colour-pattern as well as by the scales along the dorsal midline. Results obtained from polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis support this differentiation.Öğe On the occurrence of the black cat snake, Telescopus nigriceps (Ahl, 1924) (Serpentes : Colubridae) from the Southeastern Anatolia, Turkey with some taxonomical comments(Univ Oradea Publ House, 2007) Gocmen, Bayram; Nilson, Goeran; Yildiz, Mehmet Zuelfue; Arikan, Hueseyin; Yalcinkaya, Deniz; Akman, BahadirThis is the first report of the occurrence of Telescopus nigriceps in SE Anatolia. Four specimens were collected from two different localities, Kilis and Sanliurfa Provinces. In the later locality the species was found in sympatry with the closely related taxon, Telescopus fallax syriacus (Boettger, 1880). Since so little information is available on this rare cat snake, the species description is revised in detail, based on the newly collected specimens and the limited information given by different authors from its previously known distribution area, In light of the newly obtained data, its taxonomic status was discussed in comparison to neighboring and sympatric taxa.Öğe Rana macrocnemis BOULENGER, 1885, from the Emir Mountains in western inner Anatolia (Turkey)(Osterreichische Gesellschaft Herpetologie E V, 2014) Afsar, Murat; Afsar, Birguel; Arikan, HueseyinIn the present study, mountain frogs from the Emir Mountains (Province of Afyonkarahisar) in western inner Anatolia (Turkey) were examined both morphologically i.e., morphometry and color-pattern, and serologically by analyzing the blood-plasma proteins using polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. Based on the analyses, the mountain frog population of the Emir Mountains represents Rana macrocnemis BOULENGER, 1885.Öğe Serological characterization and confirmation of the taxonomic status of Montivipera albizona (Serpentes, Viperidae) with an additional new locality record and some phylogenetical comments(Brill Academic Publishers, 2009) Gocmen, Bayram; Arikan, Hueseyin; Yildiz, Mehmet Zuelfue; Mermer, Ahmet; Alpagut-Keskin, NursenThis is the first record of the presence of Montivipera albizona (Nilson, Andren & Flardh 1990), in Kahramanmaras province, Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Here, one young male specimen was collected and is described. The present record of M albizona extends its known distribution (Kulmac Mountain Range, Sivas) some 250 km to the south-west, where the Anatolian Diagonal exhibits a bifurcation. Our data based on the electropheoretic analysis of blood-sera, indicate that the M. xanthina populations from the western Anatolia and M albizona distributed along the Anatolian Diagonal show significant differences, qualitatively and quantitatively. Accordingly, it is concluded that M albizona should not be included within the polymorphic species M. xanthina which lives in western Anatolia and therefore, it should be accepted as a valid species. Moreover, the actual distributions of the related taxa in Anatolia and the geographic structure of the Anatolian Diagonal were discussed. (C) Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2009.Öğe A serological comparison of the populations of the Levantine Viper, Macrovipera lebetina (Linnaeus, 1758) in Cyprus and Southern Turkey(Univ Oradea Publ House, 2007) Goecmen, Bayram; Arikan, Hueseyin; Cicek, Kerim; Yildiz, Mehmet ZuelfueThe present study compares the blood-serum proteins of populations of the Levantine viper, Macrovipera lebetina L. from Cyprus and southern Anatolia by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and densitometry analysis methods. There were discernible differences found between the two populations for the blood serum protein features compared. By considering these differences, it is concluded that the southern Anatolian population of Macrovipera lebetina should not be considered as the nominate subspecies M. l. lebetina, which lives in Cyprus.
