Deltocephalinae (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) Species in Southwestern Turkey with New Records* Emine Demir Entomologica romanica 20: 49-55, 2016 ISSN 1224-2594 / article no.: ER20201601 Deltocephalinae (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) species in Southwestern Turkey with new records* Emine Demir Summary: In this study, Deltocephalinae (Cicadellidae) species collected from Gevne Valley and surrounding located in south western Turkey are evaluated faunistically, ecologically and zoo geographically. 57 species belonging to 36 genera from 10 tribes in the area have been identified. Determined species contain new records for Mediterranean and Central Anatolia Regions and Platymetopius (s. str.) pseudoguttatus (Abdul-Nour, 1987) species are new record for Turkey. It is determined that the species identified in the study area are belonging to 21 different zoogeographical elements of endemism and the endemism ratio of area is 8.77 %. Also it is determined that Athysanini is the most dominant tribe in the area in terms of individual density with the ratio 46.84%. And 56.14% of species, wich have been determined, were collected from light trap, respectively. Key words: Deltocephalinae (Cicadellidae), faunistic assessment, zoogeographical assessment, ecological assessment, new records, south western Turkey. Introduction maquis dominated by 1000m, although the area has been destroyed by humans in many places. Sometimes Faunistic records belonging to this suborder P. brutia occurs at over 1000m.

  • Faunal Communities of the Field Stratum and Their Succession in Reserved Fields
    JOURNAL OF THE SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF FINLAND Maataloustieteellinen Aikakauskirja Vol. 49:390-405, 1977 Faunal communities of the field stratum and their succession in reserved fields Heikki Hokkanen and Mikko Raatikainen University of Jyväskylä, Department of Biology Yliopistonkatu 9, 40100 Jyväskylä 10, Finland Abstract. The arthropod of the field stratum and small mammal fauna of 51 reserved fields were studied in Central Finland in 1974. In high summer the arthropod density the 2 which formed was on average 210 individuals/m , of Auchenorrhyncha 42 %, Hyme- noplera 18 %, Coleoptera 14 %, and others 26 %. Arthropods were more abundant in fields that had been reserved after leys than in fields after open cultivations. The abun- dance of most arthropod taxa increased as the time in reservation increased. However, the abundance of most pests of any significance decreased with years. Sorex araneus L. and Microtus agrestis L. formed almost 90 % of the small mammal fauna of the fields. Their abundance was on the average much less than in the Scots pine seed orchards nearby. The leafhopper faunas were divided into three communities. One appeared in young (Ist —3rd year) fields, and the other two in older (2nd —6th year) fields, one in dry and one in moist fields. The Apion fauna was divided into four communities. The dependence of the described arthropod communities on the vegetational communities of the fields was weak, although some relationships were observable. 1. Introduction To decrease the area under cultivation, the Field Reservation Act (216/ 1969) was enacted in 1969. By the end of 1974 about 8 % of the cultivated area in Finland had been reserved (Anon.

In recent years some macrofungi Myxomycetes (plasmodial slime moulds) are and Myxomycetes have been added to the Turkish primitive phagotrophic eukaryotes that generally myxobiota by some researchers (Dülger, 2008; occur in association with decaying or living plant Doğan & Karadelev, 2009; Alkan et al., 2010; Doğan material in terrestrial forest ecosystems.

  • The Leafhopper Species Assemblages Associated with Native And
    The leafhopper species assemblages associated with native and replanted grasslands in southwest Montana by James Alexander Bess A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology Montana State University © Copyright by James Alexander Bess (1997) Abstract: Leafhopper (Insecta: Homoptera: Cicadellidae) species assemblages were examined and compared between four distinct grassland types in southwestern Montana. Three sample sites (or patches) were chosen within each of the four grassland types (two native and two replanted), for a total of twelve sites. Leafhopper specimens were collected in sweepnet samples from each of the twelve sites in 1988 and 1991. The leafhopper assemblages from the twelve patches were compared using Spearman’s correlation analysis to determine which assemblages were most similar. In addition, cluster analyses, using Goodman-Kruskal’s Gamma coefficient, were performed to give a pictorial representation of spatial relationships between the assemblages and to compare with the correlation analyses. Analyses were performed on each individual years’ data and the combined data. The correlation analysis found the patches with each type to be closely related to one another, although some also correlated closely with patches from other types. Most of these between type associations were between the native grassland sites. Correlations were strongest using the combined data. Cluster analyses produced many spurious associations using the single years’ data that were unsubstantiated by patterns observed in the raw data. Cluster analysis of the combined data produced associations similar to those observed, with the correlation analysis and supported by the raw data. A total of 67 leafhopper taxa were identified during this study, 54 of which are new to Montana.

Western North American Naturalist 64(4), © 2004, pp. 421–432 EVALUATING THE GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF PLANTS IN UTAH FROM THE ATLAS OF VASCULAR PLANTS OF UTAH R. Douglas Ramsey1,2 and Leila Shultz1 ABSTRACT.—Locations of 73,219 vascular plant vouchers representing 2438 species were digitized from the Atlas of the Vascular Plants of Utah (Albee et al. 1988). Source maps consist of 1:6,000,000-scale shaded relief maps of Utah with points representing collection locations by species. Location points, representing 1 or more specimens, were transposed onto these maps from the approximately 400,000 herbarium records of 3 major universities and federal land manage- ment agencies. These source maps were digitized into an ARC/Info™ database in order to reproduce the atlas in digital form. Analysis of all locations revealed a mapping bias of the original authors to avoid placing sample locations on county boundaries and over major river corridors.
