In the period from May 2010 to August 2011, spider fauna of semi natural olive groves and associated shrub-lands were sampled in Muğla Province, Milas District, Kıyıkışlacık Village at the Western Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Semiquantitative sampling protocols were performed by use of pitfall traps, sweep nets, by active collecting, by sifting of tree litter and beating branches of shrubs. A total of 9967 spider specimens were obtained, from these, 3034 adult specimens were determined up to the lowest taxonomic category, and a detailed checklist is produced for the study area, composed of a total of 220 species belonging to 147 genera and 38 families. 39 species were recorded for the first time in Turkey. Species accumulation curves were used to test the representativeness of field surveys and to perform richness estimates, which were resulted in high completeness values and richness estimations around 250 – 300 species for the study area. Results on composition, phenology and distributional patterns of the spider assemblage was also briefly discussed and found to be typical for Mediterranean habitats. Diagnostic photographs for each species in the collection are also provided in the appendix.

Impact of olive grove management on spider (araneae) community in Northwestern Turkey Elverici, Mert; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Department of Biology (2018) Olive (Olea europea) plantations cover vast areas on the Aegean coast of Turkey, including the southern foothills of Kaz Mountains. In such environments, olive trees dominate the terrestrial vegetation in such a way that they might form a novel ‘ecosystem’. The ‘olive grove agro-ecosystem’ is shaped by agricultural management while impacts on biodiversity are largely unknown. As representatives of local biodiversity, spider communities were sampled in soil and vegetation microhabitats, alongside with variou...
Breeding success and reproductive behavior in a white stork (ciconia ciconia) colony in Ankara Göcek, Çağrı; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Department of Biology (2006) White Stork ( Ciconia ciconia, Linnaeus, 1758) is a summer visitor and passage migrant in Turkey. Although being widespread in summer near wetlands of Turkey, except for the eastern and western parts of the Black Sea Region, there has been no research on this species involving regular monitoring of nests. In this study, breeding success and survival of nestlings in a population in Kızılcahamam-Ankara as well as behavioral differences among nests and their probable consequences on breeding success were studi...
Antioxidant, antimicrobial activity and phytochemical analysis of Pistacia Vera L. skin Şermet, Muhammed Ömer; Bozoğlu, Faruk; Sağdıçoğlu Celep, A. Gülçin; Department of Biochemistry (2015) Pistacia vera L. commonly grows in Mediterranean region, mainly in the Southeast of Turkey. Traditionally it is used for the treatment of several diseases such as asthma, rheumatism and hypertension. Pistachios are very rich sources of phenolic compounds however the skins are excluded from the nut as waste. This study was designed to investigate the antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of P. vera skin and to evaluate its phenolic compounds. P. vera skin extracts were prepared in different solvents and meth...
Comparative sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer 2 region of Turkish red pine (pinus brutia ten.) and natural aleppo pine (pinus halepensis mill.) populations from Turkey Tozkar, C. Özge; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2007) Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia) is wide-spread and an important forest tree species in Turkey, occurring mainly in southern, western and north-western Turkey and as small isolated populations in the Black Sea region. Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) has naturally found only in Adana and Muğla provinces as small population in mixture with Turkish red pine. Although Turkish red pine and Aleppo pine are morphologically different, Turkish red pine has been regarded as subspecies of Aleppo pine by some taxonomists...
Geology and age of mineralization around naldöken village (Ayvacık-Çanakkale) in Biga Peninsula Yıldız, Gökhan Okan; Bozkurt, Erdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2016) Kestanbol pluton (Biga Peninsula) NW Turkey and its volcanic assemblages hosts magmatic and hydrothermal mineralization around Naldöken village, AyvacıkÇanakkale. Various rocks assemblages and their spatial with temporal relations was studied to identify their alteration-mineralization characteristics of the study area. By means of this study, Naldöken mineralization is attributed to emplacement of quartz monzodiorite (20.1 Ma), creating potassic alterations on proximal and lithocap with chalcedonic quartz ...
