This study was conducted to determine ichthyofauna of the Büyük Karaçay stream of the River Orontes drainage in Turkey (eastern Mediterranaen basin). As the result of examination of the 911 individuals collected between June 2012 and May 2013, eight fish species belonging to five families have been recorded.

The lichen Anaptychia fusca and several Stereocaulon species have been chemically investigat­ ed with regard to their content o f unknown ninhydrin-positive compounds. N ew aliphatic and alicyclic, amino components isolated from water extracts o f these lichen species have been charac­ terised as aminopentitol, aminohexitol and aminocyclitetrol. To our knowledge, this is the first time that com...

Carotenoids, Chlorella fusca, Chlorophylls, Iron Stress, Vanadate The pigment composition of Chlorella fusca has been investigated in the absence and in presence of vanadate and during iron stress. 1. Fe-deficiency generally decreases algal pigment content without change of the ratio chloro­ phyll a/b. 2. A twofold vanadate induced increase of the chlorophylls is accompanied by a similar enhanc...

Besides traditional methods based on morphological characters, electrophoretic such as SDS-PAGE are preferred by taxonomists to make the right decision in species identification process. In addition, effect of environmental factors, pH, salinity, heat, and temperature protein profiles essential various studies. this study, we aimed determine degree relationship some fish species, Squalius lepid...

Busseola fusca (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an important pest of maize and sorghum in sub-Saharan Africa. One century after its first description by Fuller in 1901, inaccurate information based on earlier reports are still propagated on its distribution (e.g., absent from the lower altitudes in East Africa) and host plant range (e.g., feeding on a large range of wild grass species). This review ...

This study was carried out between November 2013 and May 2015, to determine the fish fauna inhabited in Atatürk Dam lake. The specimens were obtained by different technical fishing gears. It determined that caught belonging 25 species (Capoeta trutta, Capoeta umbla, Cyprinon macrostomus, Arabibarbus grypus, Carasobarbus luteus, Carassius carassius, gibelio, Cyprinus carpio, Garra variabilis, Lu...

A total of 21 species belonging to 14 genera, 9 families and 7 orders are recorded from the island. Three species are regarded as new to science, but are not formally described, and the status of another three is yet to be clarified. Pachyiulus cy...
