Lepidorbitoides bisambergensis is characterised by having a 'quadriserial' embryo without any chamberlet directly arising from the deuteroconch and is a very diagnostic and common species in Lower Maastrichtian flysch successions in Anatolia. Some populations of this species present an early ontogenetic morphologic feature which is characterised by distinctly asymmetric early chamber arrangement recognised in the horizontal sections. This asymmetry is mainly caused by the pronounced difference in the size of auxiliary chamberlets which rest on both, protoconch and deuteroconch and also enhanced by the development of unequal number of chamberlets in the series arising from these auxiliary chamberlets on the protoconchal side. These asymmetric specimens are commonly identified in stratigraphic horizons below the symmetric ones after the introduction of a new auxiliary chamberlet and progressively replaced by symmetric ones in the younger populations. Asymmetric 'quadriserial' specimens representing the early phylogenetic stage of L. bisambergensis described in the stratigraphic horizons corresponding to G. havanensis and G. aegyptiaca (?) zones are thought to deserve a particular taxonomic status and are attributed to Lepidorbitoides bisambergensis asymmetrica subsp.

Characterization of taxonomically related some Turkish oak (quercus l.) species in an isolated stand : a morphometric analysis approach Aktaş, Caner; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2010) The genus Quercus L. is represented with more than 400 species in the world and 18 of these species are found naturally in Turkey. Although its taxonomical, phytogeographical and dendrological importance, the genus Quercus is still taxonomically one of the most problematical woody genus in Turkish flora. In this study, multivariate morphometric approach was used to analyze oak specimens collected from an isolated forest (Beynam Forest, Ankara) where Quercus pubescens Willd., Q. infectoria Olivier subsp. boi...
The genera Lepidorbitoides and Orbitcoides: evolution and stratigraphic significance in some Anatolian basins ÖZCAN, ERCAN; Altıner, Sevinç (1999-07-01) Early ontogenetic morphologic features previously recognized as evolutionary parameters in Lepidorbitoides and Orbitoides have been tested in several flysch successions of Anatolia. Increase in embryo size (Li + ii), number of epi-embryonic chambers (E) and organization of embryonal chamber arrangement from 'quadrilocular' to 'bilocular' and multilocular in Orbitoides, increase in deuteroconch size (D), in deuteroconch-protoconch ratio (D/P) and in number of adauxiliary chambers (Ad) in Lepidorbitoides have...
An expanded molecular phylogeny of Plumbaginaceae, with emphasis on Limonium (sea lavenders): Taxonomic implications and biogeographic considerations Koutroumpa, Konstantina; Theodoridis, Spyros; Warren, Ben H.; Jimenez, Ares; Celep, Ferhat; Doğan, Musa; Romeiras, Maria M.; Santos-Guerra, Arnoldo; Maria Fernandez-Palacios, Jose; Caujape-Castells, Juli; Moura, Monica; de Sequeira, Miguel Menezes; Conti, Elena (Wiley, 2018-12-01) Plumbaginaceae is characterized by a history of multiple taxonomic rearrangements and lacks a broad molecular phylogenetic framework. Limonium is the most species-rich genus of the family with ca. 600 species and cosmopolitan distribution. Its center of diversity is the Mediterranean region, where ca. 70% of all Limonium species are endemic. In this study, we sample 201 Limonium species covering all described infrageneric entities and spanning its wide geographic range, along with 64 species of other Plumba...
Revision of Vicia L. (Leguminosae) in the Central Anatolia, Turkey Binzat, Okan Kaan; Doğan, Musa; Department of Biology (2012) In this revisional study based on the the genus Vicia in Central Anatolia large quantities of data have been compilled from specimens representing the group of the taxa being studied. These data were then synthesized to make taxon descriptions, keys, geographical distributions and ecological preferences. Since 2009, about 700 specimens have been collected from Central Anatolia and examined as the research materials. In addition, a large number of specimens have also been studied in the following herbaria AN...
TAXONOMIC NOTES ON SEMPERVIVUM ARMENUM BOISS. & A. HUET (CRASSULACEAE) FROM TURKEY WITH AN AMENDED DESCRIPTION KARAER, FERGAN; Celep, Ferhat (2010-06-01) As a part of a revision of the genus Sempervivum L in Turkey S armenum Boiss & A Huet var armenum and var insigne Muirhead, are better treated at the rank of subspecies based on over 150 specimens Moreover, an amended and expanded description, distribution. phenology, ecology of these subspecies are provided With respect to IUCN categories, subsp insigne has been assessed as vulnarable
