Türkiye, yenilebilir yabani ot çeşitliliği açısından oldukça önemli bir potansiyele sahiptir. Başta Ege Bölgesi olmak üzere, ülkenin birçok yerinde tüketimini görmek mümkündür. Bölgesi, sahip olduğu coğrafik özellikler ve iklim koşulları nedeniyle zengin çeşitliliğe ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Bölgenin söz konusu yöre halkının yaşamına da etki etmiştir. Yöresel yemeklerde otların sıklıkla kullanı...

In 1996, we investigated the female reproductive success of the narrow endemic Erodium paularense in a population with a mixture of rock and lithosol microhabitats. The main purposes of this study were to determine the main factors that affected reproductive success and whether these factors were influenced by differences in the two contrasting microhabitats. In both microhabitats, fruit set wa...

We present a limiting model for thin non-euclidean elastic rods. Originating from the three-dimensional (3D) reference metric of the rod, which is determined by its internal material structure, we derive a 1D reduced rod theory. Specifically, we show how the spontaneous twist and curvature of a rod emerge from the reference metric derivatives. Thus, the model allows calculating the unconstraine...

The Romanian hamster Mesocricetus newtoni is endemic to South-Eastern Romania (Dobruja region) and North-Eastern Bulgaria, prefers steppic, arid, uncultivated habitats, but also found in alfalfa fields, less often corn cultures field-protecting vegetation belts. Previous studies provide only limited data regarding the diet of this cryptic species. one family group (one female four pups) was mon...

Overall phylogenetic relationships within the genus Pelargonium (Geraniaceae) were inferred based on DNA sequences from mitochondrial(mt)-encoded nad1 b/c exons and from chloroplast(cp)-encoded trnL (UAA) 5' exon-trnF (GAA) exon regions using two species of Geranium and Sarcocaulon vanderetiae as outgroups. The group II intron between nad1 exons b and c was found to be absent from the Pelargoni...

Food habits of the Moroccan dorcas gazelle, Gazella dorcas massaesyla, previously investigated in the 1980s using microhistological fecal analysis, in the M'Sabih Talaa Reserve, west central Morocco, were re-evaluated over three seasons (spring, summer and autumn 2009) using the trnL approach to determine the diet composition and its seasonal variation from fecal samples. Taxonomic identificati...
