piscicidal and molluscicidal activities of aqueous extracts of many members of the family euphorbiaceae are well-known, but the toxicity potential of euphorbia turcomanica was not yet studied on any aquatic animals. an acute toxicity test was performed by using a four-day static renewal test to determine the lc 50 value of dried powder of e. turcomanica for the euryhaline fish, aphanius dispar ...

Interspecific competition may be particularly exacerbated when occurring between native and invasive alien species, with environmental conditions affecting drivers of natural selection shaping spatio-temporal dynamics animal communities. The effects invaders are evident in aquatic ecosystems delicate complex balances, such as Mediterranean coastal wetlands, characterized by unpredictable water ...

We tested the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b gene-based (1065 bp.) phylogeny and genetic diversity of tooth-carp fish (Aphaniidae Hoedeman, 1949 family), many which are endemic, with a very high species in Anatolia. A total 107 individuals were studied from 29 stations belonging to 19 Aphaniid species. For Cytb gene, 44 haplotypes identified, all species-specific. The phylogenetic relationships...
