Öğe An additional population of Lyciasalamandra atifi veithi (Urodela: Salamandridae)(Universitatea din Oradea, 2018) Oğuz M.A.; Kariş M.; Göçmen B.; Veith M.; Godmann O.A new population of Lyciasalamandra atifi is presented from Ürünlü village, Ibradı district, based on fieldwork conducted in March 2015. After morphological and statistical investigation we conclude that the Ürünlü population has a morphology similar to that of Lyciasalamandra atifi veithi from Dikmen village, Akseki district. We also uncover the Manavgat river locality that could not be confirmed by previous studies. © Biharean Biologist, Oradea, Romania, 2018.Öğe Clinical, physiological and serological observations of a human following a venomous bite by Macrovipera lebetina lebetina (Reptilia: Serpentes).(2006) Göçmen B.; Arikan H.; Ozbel Y.; Mermer A.; Ciçek K.A researcher, a 40 year-old male, was bitten on his finger accidentally by a 75 cm long, adult male blunt-nosed viper, Macrovipera lebetina lebetina (Linnaeus) that had been collected from northern Cyprus during laboratory work in the Zoology Section, Biology Department of the Ege University Faculty of Science. The clinical signs, physiological and biochemical changes soon after the venomous bite by the blunt-nosed viper as well as the electrophoretic separation of plasma proteins of the patient have been presented here. Serious important symptoms (edema, hypotension shock, hemorrhage, tissue necrosis, and melanoderma) developed and major quantitative differences in the fractions of albumin, globulin and albumin/globulin ratios were detected. On the other hand, the measurements carried out in blood smears and biochemical results indicated the decrease in RBC, MCV, MHV and a decrease in the diameter of red blood cells, as well as an increase in WBC.Öğe Comparative venomics of the vipera ammodytes transcaucasiana and vipera ammodytes montandoni from turkey provides insights into kinship(MDPI AG, 2018) Hempel B.-F.; Damm M.; Göçmen B.; Karis M.; Oguz M.A.; Nalbantsoy A.; Süssmuth R.D.The Nose-horned Viper (Vipera ammodytes) is one of the most widespread and venomous snakes in Europe, which causes high frequent snakebite accidents. The first comprehensive venom characterization of the regional endemic Transcaucasian Nose-horned Viper (Vipera ammodytes transcaucasiana) and the Transdanubian Sand Viper (Vipera ammodytes montandoni) is reported employing a combination of intact mass profiling and bottom-up proteomics. The bottom-up analysis of both subspecies identified the major snake protein families of viper venoms. Furthermore, intact mass profiling revealed the presence of two tripeptidic metalloprotease inhibitors and their precursors. While previous reports applied multivariate analysis techniques to clarify the taxonomic status of the subspecies, an accurate classification of Vipera ammodytes transcaucasiana is still part of the ongoing research. The comparative analysis of the viper venoms on the proteome level reveals a close relationship between the Vipera ammodytes subspecies, which could be considered to clarify the classification of the Transcaucasian Nose-horned Viper. However, the slightly different ratio of some venom components could be indicating interspecific variations of the two studied subspecies or intraspecies alternations based on small sample size. Additionally, we performed a bioactivity screening with the crude venoms against several human cancerous and non-cancerous cell lines, which showed interesting results against a human breast adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line. Several fractions of Vipera a. transcaucasiana demonstrated a strong cytotoxic effect on triple negative MDA MB 231 breast cancer cells. © 2017 by the authors.

Along this distance, we determined eight isolated populations (Selge, Fersin, Dikmen, Guzelbag, Turbelinaz, Gundogmus, Cebireis, Gazipasa) in 2013 and used morphology and serology to compare them. The collected specimens were registered under the ZMADYU (Zoology Museum of Adiyaman University), and a total of 237 (59 >>, 96 ++, 82 juv.) specimens were studied. As a result of our research, three new subspecies are described: Lyciasalamandra atifi godmanni n. ssp. from Selge, Lyciasalamandra atifi veithi n. ssp. from Dikmen and Lyciasalamandra atifi kunti n. ssp. from Guzelbag. Except Cebireis (L. a. bayrami) and Gazipasa (L. a. oezi) populations, the other isolated populations were incorporated in the nominat subspecies due to morphological and serological similarities. © South west J Hortic Biol Environ.Öğe Distribution, taxonomy and biology of Stenodactylus grandiceps Haas, 1952 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) in Anatolia(Universitatea din Oradea, 2014) Akman B.; Göçmen B.To determine the distribution and obtain detailed information on Stenodactylus grandiceps in Anatolia, eight field studies were conducted to the regions of Eastern Mediterranean Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia in 2007 and 2008, including the various habitat types. Collected 23 specimens (8, 5 and 10 juveniles) in the three different localities (one from Gaziantep and two from Kilis province) were examined morphologically and described in detail with some information on feeding and behavioral biology. © Biharean Biologist, Oradea, Romania, 2014.Öğe Electrophoretic characterisation of the venom samples obtained from various Anatolian snakes (Serpentes: Colubridae, Viperidae, Elapidae)(Editura Universitati din Oradea, 2008) Arikan H.; Göçmen B.; Kumlutaş Y.; Alpagut-Keskin N.; Ilgaz C.; Yildiz M.-Z.The venoms extracted from a colubrid snake [Malpolom monspessulanus (Hermann)], seven viperids [Montivipera xanthina (Gray), Montivipera wagneri Nilson & Andrén, Vipera ammodytes (Linnaeus), Vipera kaznakovi (Nikolsky), Vipera eriwanensis (Bonaparte), Vipera barani Böhme & Joger, Macrovipera lebetina (Linnaeus)] and an elapid snake [Walterinnesia aegyptia (Lataste)] collected from various regions of Anatolia were compared using polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis and densitometry analysis methods. The electrophoretic patterns (protein bands) of the examined venom snakes were demonstrated. The resulting electropherograms showed important qualitative differences amongst the colubrid snake Malpolon monspessulanus, the elapid species Walterinnesia aegyptia and the viperid snakes. In M. monspessulanus and W. aegyptia samples the total protein fraction numbers were 11 and 12, respectively, while in viperid samples the number was between 10 and 14, indicating a higher venom complexity in viperids compared to that of opistoglyph-colubrid and proteroglyph-elapid snakes. Electrophoretic data support the phylogenetic argument previously outlined for the family Viperidae. Moreover, it is concluded that the Macrovipera wagneri and Walterinnesia aegyptia are closely related taxa with front-fanged delivery systems in the light of protein band analogies.Öğe [An epidemiological study on canine leishmaniasis (CanL) and sand flies in Northern Cyprus]. [Kuzey Kibris'ta Kanin Leishmaniasis ve Kum Sineklerinin Epidemiyolojisi.](2013) Töz S.O.; Ertabaklar H.; Göçmen B.; Demir S.; Karakuş M.; Arserim S.K.; Balcioglu I.C.; Canakçi T.; Ozbel Y.In this study, the investigation on the prevalence of canine leishmaniasis (CanL) and sand fly species incriminated as potential vectors of leishmaniasis in the northern part of the Cyprus were aimed. This research was conducted in two periods; 2004 and 2012. Serological (IFAT and rK39) and molecular (PCR) tests were performed on 83 dog blood samples during the 2004 survey. PCR was performed using primers 13A/13B targeting kinetoplastid minicircle constant region. Genomic Nested-PCR was applied using R221/R332 and R323/333 primers for 5 clinically suspected dog samples in 2012. Sand flies were collected from the Lapithos town and Kyreniae province using CDC light traps and midgut dissection was done for the presence of Leishmania parasites during the 2012 survey. Three (3.61%) out of 83 dogs were found to be positive for CanL in 2004, while 3 out of 5 clinically suspected dogs were positive in 2012. In total 296 female sand flies were dissected and 9 species belonging to Phlebotomus and Sergentomyia genera were determined. No promastigote was found in the dissected females. The results obtained in two different periods showed that the importance and risk of canine disease are increasing in the northern Cyprus and further studies should be performed in northern Cyprus for determining the incidence of canine and human leishmaniasis.Öğe Extreme cases of colour pattern and size in Levantine Viper, Macrovipera lebetina (L., 1758) from the West of Euphrates Basin (Southern Anatolia, Turkey)(2012) Mermer A.; Göçmen B.; Çiçek K.A male Macrovipera lebetina showing unusually prominent orange blotches, collected from Anamur (Mersin, Turkey) on November 2nd 2010, has been asigned to M. l. euphratica due to its colour-pattern and other morphological characters. Furthermore, we registered a record of the maximum total body length for this species from a female specimen [230 cm], which was killed by villagers, from Dikmece village (Hatay) in October 2011. © Biharean Biologist, Oradea, Romania, 2012.Öğe Fecal ciliate composition of Cypriot domestic horses (Equus caballus Linnaeus, 1758) [Ki{dotless}bri{dotless}s evcil ati{dotless}ni{dotless}n bagi{dotless}rsak siliyat faunasi{dotless} (equus caballus linnaeus, 1758)](2012) Göçmen B.; Gürelli G.; Dehority B.A.The species composition and distribution of large intestinal ciliates was investigated in feces from 5 Cypriot domestic horses living in Northern Cyprus. We identified 9 ciliate genera and 11 species. This is the first report on intestinal ciliates in Cypriot domestic horses, and no endemic species were observed. The genera Cycloposthium, Spirodinium, and Paraisotricha occurred in all animals. The mean number of ciliates was (5.5 ± 4.4) × 10 4 cells mL -1 of feces and the mean number of ciliate species per host was 7.2 ± 1.5. The characteristics of the domestic horse ciliates were almost identical to those reported in other equids from various regions around the world, suggesting that there is little or no pronounced geographic variation in the intestinal ciliate fauna of equids. © TÜBİTAK.Öğe First record of the leopard gecko Eublepharis angramainyu (Reptilia: Sauria: Eublepharidae) from Anatolia(2002) Göçmen B.; Tosunoglu M.; Ayaz D.[No abstract available]Öğe First record of the palestine viper Vipera palaestinae (Sepentes: Viperidae) from anatolia(Editura Universitaria Craiova, 2018) Göçmen B.; Kariş M.; Özmen E.; Oğuz M.A.We present a considerable range extension, approximately 100 km to the north, for the Palestine Viper, Vipera palaestinae in the Mediterranean ecozone of south-eastern Turkey (Alahan village, Antakya district, Hatay province). It is also the first record of the occurrence of Palestine viper from Turkey © Editura Universitaria Craiova.Öğe Histological and histochemical aspects of the digestive tract of lyciasalamandra billae arikani Göçmen & akman, 2012 (Urodela: Salamandridae)(Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 2019) Akat E.; Göçmen B.The present study describes the histological and histochemical features of the digestive tract of Lyciasalamandra billae arikani Göçmen & Akman, 2012. The wall of the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine are formed by four layers from inside to outside: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa and adventitia or serosa. The oesophageal epithelium of L. billae arikani consists of ciliated columnar epithelial cells with many goblet cells. The inner surface of the stomach mucosa is lined by columnar mucus-secreting cells. The small intestine has many deep folds lined by cylindrical cells and goblet cells. The mucosa of the large intestine had small folds, which are lined by columnar epithelial cells. An increased number of goblet cells is observed from the small intestine to the large intestine. According to the histochemical results, the secretion of mucous cells has distinct properties (neutral, acidic and sulphated glycoproteins) characteristic for the different parts of the digestive system. The secretion of mucous cells participates in maintaining tissue moisture, has protective functions against chemicals and pathogens as well as contributes to the reduction of mechanical friction by lubricating. © 2019 Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.Öğe A histological study on hepatic structure of Lyciasalamandra arikani (Urodela: Salamandridae)(Folium Ltd, 2014) Akat E.; Göçmen B.The liver is one of the most important internal organ in the body. It plays a prominent role in many processes in the body, particularly those concerned with its metabolism (protein synthesis, storage metabolites, bile secretion and detoxification). This report represents the histological characterization of liver Lyciasalamandra arikani, endemic salamander to Turkey. Hematopoietic tissue structures were examined in the connective tissue of the peri-hepatic regions. The liver of L. arikani probably possesses immunologic capabilities due to the presence of lymphocytes in the perihepatic regions. The hepatic lobules consisted of both hepatocytes and sinusoidal blood capillary networks, in which hepatocyte-sinusoidal structures were formed. The hepatocytes were polygonal and had a rounded nucleus. There is a lot of differing content of melanin containing cells in the hepatic parenchyma. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining method showed large glycogen deposits in the clusters of melanin granules. These melano-macrophage centers probably act significant role in organs of heterothermic vertebrates including providing energy and protection against pathogens due to fact that heterothermic vertebrates can produce energy slowly and so are torpid related the blood flow rate at low temperatures. © 2014 Folium Publishing Company.Öğe Intestinal ciliate composition found in the feces of racing horses from Izmir, Turkey(2012) Gürelli G.; Göçmen B.Species composition and distribution of intestinal ciliates were investigated in the feces from 15 racing horses living near Izmir, Turkey. Thirty-seven species belonging to 21 genera were identified. Although no new species were observed, this is the first report on intestinal ciliates in racing horses living in Turkey. The mean number of ciliates was 26.4±13.9×10 4cellsml -1 of feces and the mean number of ciliate species per host was 18.8±7.1. No ciliates were observed in one horse. Bundleia and Polymorphella were found to be the two dominant genera, occurring in high proportions. In contrast, Didesmis and Prorodonopsis were only observed at a low frequency. Bundleia nana, Blepharoconus hemiciliatus, Paraisotrichopsis composita, Prorodonopsis coli and Spirodinium equi were newly recorded from Turkey. © 2012 Elsevier GmbH.Öğe Intestinal ciliate composition found in the feces of the Cypriot wild donkey, Equus asinus Linnaeus, 1758(2010) Gürelli G.; Göçmen B.Species composition and distribution of large intestinal ciliates was investigated in the feces from 13 Cypriot wild donkeys, free-living in the Karpaz national park, Northern Cyprus. We identified 16 ciliate genera and 22 species. This is the first report on intestinal ciliates in Cypriot wild donkeys, and no endemic species were observed. The genus Cycloposthium occurred in all animals. The mean number of ciliates was 3.0±2.5×104 cells ml-1 of feces and the mean number of ciliate species per host was 6.5±4.8. Characteristics of the wild donkey ciliates was almost identical to those reported in other equids from various regions around the world. We thus conclude that there is no pronounced geographic variation in the intestinal ciliate fauna of equids. © 2009 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.Öğe Lyciasalamandra arikani n. sp. & L. Yehudahi n. Sp. (Amphibia, Salamandridae), two new lycian salamanders from Southwestern Anatolia(Editura Universitati din Oradea, 2012) Göçmen B.; Akman B.Two new species of Lycian salamanders, Lyciasalamandra arikani n. sp. and L. yehudahi n.sp. are described and their relationships with similar and neighbouring taxa are discussed. Both taxa originate from areas new for the genus, with the former from around Erentepe Mt. (Kumluca, Antalya) and the latter from Tahtali{dotless} Mt. (Kemer, Antalya) in the southern parts of Beydaglari{dotless} Mountain range in southwestern Anatolia. Some information about their habitats and behaviour are reported. © NwjZ, Oradea, Romania, 2012.Öğe Molecular and morphological evidence for a new subspecies of Fazila’s Lycian Salamander Lyciasalamandra fazilae in South-west Anatolia(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018) Göçmen B.; Ehl S.; Karış M.; Thiesmeier B.; Kordges T.A new subspecies of the Fazila’s Lycian Salamander Lyciasalamandra fazilae is described based on material from ten localities in the Köyceğiz, Ortaca and Dalaman area in south-western Turkey. It is distinguished from the nominotypical subspecies by differences in the colouration pattern, morphometry and the mitochondrial molecular marker 16S rRNA. The distribution area of the new subspecies is located mainly in the western part of Dalaman River except for two seemingly intermediate populations (Şerefler and Sarsala-Kapıkargın). New localities for the species are reported. © 2018, © 2018 Taylor & Francis.Öğe Morphological and serological investigations on lacerta laevis gray, 1838 (sauria: lacertidae) populations from anatolia(2001) Tosunoğlu M.; Göçmen B.; Çevik İ.E.; Atatür M.K.A total of 51 specimens of Lacerta laevis (25 >, 26 +) from the area of Mersin and Hatay (southern Anatolia) were investigated morphologically, and of these 24 specimens (12 >, 12 +) were analyzed from the viewpoint of their blood-serum proteins. The populations were found to show great intra- and interpopulation variation in their pattern and colour characteristics and in their serological analyses, while their morphometric characteristics were found to be similar. It is thus concluded that, for the present, it is not possible to separate them into different subspecies. © 2001 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Öğe Morphological and taxonomical investigations on the genus of Epidinium crawley, 1923 (Protozoa: Ciliophora: Entodiniomorphida) [Epidinium crawley, 1923 (Protozoa: Ciliophora: Entodiniomorphida) cinsi hakkinda morfolojik ve taksonomik aractirmalar](1999) Göçmen B.Rumen contents obtained from 30 domesticated cattle (Bos taurus L.), slaughtered at abattoirs in the vicinity of Izmir, were surveyed for ciliates belonging to the genus of Epidinium. Results of this survey suggested that the ciliates in the genus should not be classified to the species level on the basis of caudal spination characteristics, as previously proposed (1). Populations intermediate in these characteristics were detected in Turkish cattle and analysis of the morphometrical data for all criteria did not indicate significant differences for establishing separate species. It appears that these features, which show continuous variation, are more appropriate for classification as formae. Therefore, the genus has been revised and a key proposed for identification (p. 31). The present study also reports for the first time, the presence of Epidinium caudatum f. diodonta n. comb., E. e. f. triodonta, and E. e. f. tetrodonta and E. e. f. pentodonta in cattle.Öğe Morphological and taxonomical investigations on the genus of Ophryoscolex stein, 1858 (Protozoa: Ciliophora: Entodiniomorphida) [Ophryoscolex stein, 1858 (Protozoa: Ciliophora: Entodiniomorphida) cinsi hakkinda morfolojik ve taksonomik araştirmalar](1999) Göçmen B.Rumen contents obtained from 30 domesticated cattle (Bos taurus L.), slaughtered at abattoirs in the vicinity of Izmir, were surveyed for ciliates belonging to the genus of Ophryoscolex. Results of this survey suggested that the ciliates in this two genus should not be classified to the species level on the basis of caudal spination characteristics or the number of the rings of secondary caudal spines, as previously proposed (1, 2). Populations intermediate in these characteristics were detected in Turkish cattle and analysis of the morphometrical data for all criteria did not indicate significant differences for establishing separate species. It appears that these features, which show continuous variation, are more appropriate for classification as formae. Therefore, this genus has been revised. O. purkynjei and O. caudatus, previously described as two different species, are now considered as the same species, O. purkynjei, according to the priority in Systematic Zoology. Three new formae (O. p. f. purkynjei n. f., O. p. f. bifidobicinctus n. f. and O. p. f. bifidoquadricinctus n. f.), all belonging to O. purkynjei are described and a new key proposed for identification (p. 28).
