Various synthetic esters were tested for their attractiveness to females of Galleria mellonella in comparison with n-nonanal, a component of the sex pheromone of Galleria mellonella. It has been shown that methyl octanoate, ethyl octanoate and methyl decanoate attract females. Particularly, methyl octanoate is as effective as n-nonanal in bioassay and could be a potential pest control agent.

Molecular detection of Nosema ceranae and N. apis from Turkish honey bees
Whitaker, Justin; Szalanski, Allen L.; Kence, Meral (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-03-01)
Polymerase chain reaction specific for the rDNA marker for Nosema ceranae and Nosema apis was conducted on 84 Apis mellifera samples collected from 20 provinces in Turkey. N. ceranae was detected from three samples from the provinces of Artvin, Hatay, and Mugla. N. apis was detected in samples from the provinces of Sivas, Izmir, Bitlis and Gaziantep. All of the positive samples were from honey bees belonging to the 'C' lineage of A. mellifera. DNA sequencing analysis of the N. ceranae samples revealed that ...
Morphometric and genetic variability of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) populations from northern Iran
Kence, Meral; Farhoud, Houmen Jabbari; Tunca, Rahsan Ivgin (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
Samples from seven honey bee populations; five Apis mellifera meda from Iran and two from Turkey, one belonging to A. m. meda and one to A. m. caucasica, were investigated using morphometric, mtDNA, and microsatellite analyses. Morphometric analysis revealed three distinct clusters. The first included all Iranian populations, whilst the second and third contained the meda and caucasica bees from Turkey. No variation was observed in the DraI restriction of COI-COII intergenic region in mitochondrial DNA, yie...
Genetic and morphometric variation in honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) populations of Turkey
Kandemir, I; Kence, M; Kence, Aykut (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2000-05-01)
Six enzyme systems were studied to determine the genetic variability in honeybee populations in Turkey. Ten morphometric characters were also measured to determine the extent of morphometric variation. Out of six enzyme systems, four were found to be polymorphic with 16 allozymes. The average heterozygosity was calculated as 0.072 +/- 0.007. Morphometric and electrophoretic variables were equally effective in discriminating honeybee populations. European and Anatolian honeybees were separated on the first a...
Note: Pyrethroid resistance and possible involvement of glutathione S-transferases in Helicoverpa armigera from Turkey
Ugurlu, Sakine; Konus, Metin; Isgor, Belgin; İşcan, Mesude (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-01-01)
An introductory study was conducted to investigate the pyrethroid resistance of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) strains in Turkey, collected from cotton fields in the Adana and Antalya provinces, through two different synthetic pyrethroid insecticides: lambda-cyhalothrin and esfenvalerate. In addition, the roles of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) in this resistance mechanism were analyzed. It was found that whereas resistance ratios for lambda-cyhalothrin (LD50 levels) were 3- and 9...
Scientific note: colony losses survey in Turkey and causes of bee deaths
Giray, Tugrul; Kence, Meral; Oskay, Devrim; Doeke, Mehmet Ali; Kence, Aykut (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-07-01)
Contemporary architectural and urban practice requires a permanent connection to other edging professions such as psychology. This paper tries to reveal another specific nature of such a connection, continuing existent scientific studies in the field of architectural and environmental psychology (LeCompte and Yetken, 1975; McMillen, 1975; İmamoglu, 1976, 1986; Sunar and LeCompte, 1977) by trying to import more broadly the perceptual psychology knowledge into the architectural and urban planning science (and...
