Recent studies have focused on the relationship between the marine fauna of the Eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea, but within the Atlantic, little is known about genetic relationships between populations of the Macaronesian islands. In this study, we tested whether the paleo-climatology and paleo-oceanography of the region could predict the genetic relationships among three Eastern Atl...

Since 2014, an invasive alien fish species, lionfish, Pterois miles (Bennett, 1828) has been started to distribute in the Turkish Mediterranean Sea coasts and spread out Aegean Sea. In present study, a Cymothoid parasite, Nerocila bivittata (Risso, 1816) is reported from pectoral fin of P. caught Gulf Iskenderun (Northeastern Mediterranean) Bodrum, Turkey (Aegean Coast). This study first record...

the bottom trawl selectivity parameters (22mm cod-end mesh size) were determined for saurida undosquamis , mullus barbatus , upeneus pori , and pagellus erythrinus along karatas coasts of turkey in northeastern mediterranean waters during fishing season for the year 2002-2003. the lengths at first capture (l 50 ) values for s. undosquamis , m. barbatus , u. pori and p. erythrinus were 12.57, 9....

conclusions we hope that turkey will be one of the brucellosis-free countries in near future with highlights from the current and further studies. materials and methods seroprevalence of brucellosis was examined in sera of 2913 patients who referred to igdır state hospital between february and december of the year 2010 by standard tube agglutination test method. results results were statistical...

Knowledge of the scale of dispersal and the mechanisms governing gene flow in marine environments remains fragmentary despite being essential for understanding evolution of marine biota and to design management plans. We use the limpets Patella ulyssiponensis and Patella rustica as models for identifying factors affecting gene flow in marine organisms across the North-East Atlantic and the Medi...
