We have investigated the potential impact on organic aerosol formation from biotic stress-induced emissions (SIE) of organic molecules from forests in Europe (north of lat. 45 N). Emission estimates for sesquiterpenes (SQT), methyl salicylate (MeSA) and unsaturated C17 compounds, due to different stressors, are based on experiments in the Jülich Plant Atmosphere Chamber (JPAC), combined with es...

Bu çalışma 2018-2019 Nisan-Kasım aylarında Burdur İli merkezinde 16 kent parkındaki 34 ağaç ve çalı üzerindeki yaprak bitlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada, Aphididae familyasından 23 cinse ait 48 tür belirlenmiştir. En fazla popülasyona sahip olan türler Aphis craccivora Koch, 1854, Cinara (Cupressobium) tujafilina (Del Guercio, 1909) Macrosiphum rosae (L., 1758) olmuştur. ber...

Nightjars and their allies represent the only major group of visually hunting aerial insectivores with a crepuscular and/or nocturnal lifestyle. Our purpose was to examine how both light regime and prey abundance in the tropics, where periods of twilight are extremely short, but nightjar diversity is high, affect activity across different temporal scales. We studied two nightjar species in West...

Acipensericola petersoni n. gen., n. sp. (Digenea: Aporocotylidae) infects the heart of the American paddlefish Polyodon spathula (Walbaum, 1792) in the Mississippi Delta. It has robust, spike-like body spines arranged in ventrolateral transverse rows; a bowl-shaped anterior sucker centered on the mouth and having minute spines on the inner anteroventral surface only; a pharynx; an inverse U-sh...

The type species of the genus Acidiella Hendel is A. longipennis Hendel, which is known as a widely distributed species in South East Asia. Specimens of A. longipennis are rarely found in insect collections, but I was able to examine a number of Myanmar specimens collected by R. Malaise during the Swedish Expedition in 1934, and reported as A. longipennis by M. Hering in 1938. As a result, thre...

Bu çalışmada, 2021 ve 2022 yıllarında Çanakkale ili park, peyzaj kentsel alanlarında bulunan konukçu bitkiler üzerindeki afitler ile beslenen predatör coccinellidler coccinellid-afit-konukçu bitki etkileşimlerinin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, 25 bitkideki 27 afit türü üzerinde olarak beslendiği tespit edilen Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) familyasına bağlı 6 cins içerisinde ...
