Tunicates are marine filter-feeding invertebrates that can be found worldwide and which are the closest phylogenetic group to the vertebrates (Craniata). Of particular interest, colonial tunicates are the only known chordates that can undergo Whole-Body Regeneration (WBR) via vascular budding. In Botrylloides anceps, a fully functional adult regenerates from a fragment of the vascular system in around 2 weeks after amputation. In this chapter, we present protocols to collect B. anceps colonies, confirm their species, breed them in the lab, monitor WBR and perform histological staining on cryosections.

Studying Tunicata WBR using Botrylloides anceps Karahan, Arzu (Springer, London/Berlin , 2021-10-01) Tunicates are marine filter-feeding invertebrates that can be found worldwide and which are the closest phylogenetic group to the vertebrates (Craniata). Of particular interest, colonial tunicates are the only known chordates that can undergo Whole Body Regeneration (WBR) via vascular budding.

Identification of demographic structure and population viability analysis of Gazella subgutturosa in Şanliurfa Çobanoğlu, Aziz Emre; Kence, Meral; Department of Biology (2010) Goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) is an Asian antelope species and it is classified as Vulnerable by IUCN. They have an economic, esthetic and cultural value; therefore, they had been hunted and domesticated for a long time. Additional human disturbance over years nearly led goitered gazelle populations in Turkey to extinction. Today in Turkey, only natural population of goitered gazelle lives in Şanlurfa. In this theses, demographic structure and population parameters of natural population goitered g...
Population genetics features of an invasive Tunicate time series samples in a central Californian marina Karahan, Arzu; Paz, Guy; Rinkevich, Baruch (2015-08-07) Despite their simple appearance, the tunicates (accepted as ancestors group to the Chordata) are marine vertebrate animals. Some tunicates live as solitary individuals, but others replicate by budding and become colonies. Most adult tunicates are sessile and others swim in the pelagic zone. The earliest unequivocal species of tunicate appeared in the fossil records in the early Cambrian period. Over the past few decades, some tunicates have been invading coastal waters in many countries. We in...
Investigation of the effects of folk medicinal plant Epilobium Hirsutum L. on cytochrome P450 dependent and antioxidant enzymes : a molecular approach Karakurt, Serdar; Adalı, Orhan; Şen, Alaattin; Department of Biochemistry (2013) The genus Epilobium sp. (Onagraceae) is widely distributed all over the world and consists of nearly 200 species. Epilobium hirsutum L. (EH) one of the members of this genus is known as its analgesic, anti-microbial and anti-proliferative activity and it is used in our country as an alternative medicine. The pharmacological effect of EH could be explained by the presence of polyphenolics including steroids, tannins and flavonoids in the aerial parts. Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) known as phase I enzymes have imp...
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...
